摘要: Aims:  Studies to date have shown rapid killing of bacterial cells when exposed copper surfaces. The mechanistic action on is so far unknown. Methods and Results:  To investigate potential mechanisms involved, meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (107 CFU) were inoculated onto coupons or stainless steel stained with either the viability fluorophore 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyl tetrazolium (CTC), detect respiration, BacLight™ (SYTO9/propidium iodide), determine cell wall integrity. Coupons then observed in-situ using epifluorescence microscopy. In addition, DNA from surfaces was isolated analysed by agarose gel electrophoresis. An effect cellular respiration CTC reduction evident but no membrane integrity (BacLight™) observed. Results isolation indicated a copper-induced detrimental MRSA genomic material as bands after exposure surface. Conclusions:  results indicate that rapidly kills compromising damaging DNA, little integrity. Significance Impact study:  This research provides explanation in support previous suggestions although do not affect cells, there still antimicrobial effect.
