Abstract
The manuscript reviews the biocidal mechanisms of copper and its current uses in the fight against transmission of health-associated (nosocomial) pathogens, foodborne diseases, dust mites loads and fungal and wound infections. The manuscript also discusses possible future applications such as filtration devices capable of deactivating contaminated blood products and breastmilk.
