Antimicrobial and Disinfecting Metals: What Are They?

Silver and copper, which have captivated humankind since ancient times with their beautiful luster and mysterious power, are not merely ornaments or symbols of wealth. They have also held a special significance in their “germ-killing power,” suppressing unseen microorganisms. We will delve into how these two metals, backed by an ancient history, have had their mechanisms elucidated by modern science and are being applied in medicine, daily life, and even future technology, incorporating the latest research trends and specific application examples.

Silver: Disinfecting Action Evolving Through Fusion with Nanotechnology

Silver ions (Ag+) exert a disinfecting effect by penetrating the cell membrane of bacteria and binding to proteins within the cell. Silver possesses considerable disinfecting power even in small amounts and has been historically used for water preservation. More recently, silver nanoparticles have rapidly become widespread. By increasing the surface area, they can achieve a high disinfecting effect with a smaller amount of silver. It is utilized in many products, such as antimicrobial masks and $\text{Ag}^+$-infused sprays, and is effective against a wide variety of microorganisms.

Copper: At the Forefront of Preventing Contact Infection

Copper ions (Cu2+) exert their disinfecting action by damaging the bacterial cell membrane, entering the cell, inhibiting enzyme function, and causing damage to DNA.Because copper’s efficacy persists even on dry surfaces, it is garnering attention for its use on hospital handrails and door handles to reduce the risk of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Research has shown it to be effective even against highly contagious pathogens such as MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and Norovirus.

Brass: A Balanced Disinfecting Material

Brass (an alloy of copper and zinc) primarily owes its disinfecting properties to copper ions (CU2+). Being harder and easier to process than pure copper, and having an attractive appearance, it has been used since ancient times for ornaments, architectural hardware, and musical instruments.The copper ions dissolving from the brass act upon bacteria to exert a disinfecting effect, though this effect varies depending on the copper content and the surface condition. Zinc is also known to have a slight antimicrobial effect, which contributes to brass’s overall disinfecting property. Due to its attractive appearance, brass is being re-evaluated in various settings as a material that combines beauty and hygiene.

The Antimicrobial History of the Two Metals That Supported Civilization

MetalHistory of Discovery and UseMain Uses
SilverApprox. 6,000 years ago: Granular native silver is believed to have been discovered and processed in the Anatolian Peninsula.Ancient Times: Ornaments, currency, expensive tableware.
Modern Times: Ornaments, electronic components, catalysts, antimicrobial products (nanoparticle coatings), medical supplies (wound dressings, etc.).
CopperApprox. 11,000 years ago: Remains believed to be natural copper processed by hammering with stone tools have been found in the Anatolia region. Smelting technology began to be used 6,000 years ago, transitioning into the Bronze Age.Ancient Times: Tools, ornaments, weapons, farming implements.
Modern Times: Electric wires, plumbing, alloy materials, antimicrobial products (door handles, medical devices, etc.).
BrassAncient Times: Manufacturing techniques, particularly the Calamine process, were developed, notably during the Roman Empire.Ancient Times: Ornaments, currency, musical instruments, containers.
Modern Times: Architectural hardware (door knobs, faucets), musical instruments, machine parts, ammunition, antimicrobial products.

Rediscovering Ancient Wisdom with Modern Science

The representative antimicrobial and disinfecting metals are silver, copper/brass.

Their respective features are as follows:

Silver : Evolving Antimicrobial Action Through Nanotechnology Fusion

Silver ions ( Ag+ ) exert their antimicrobial effect by passing through the bacterial cell membrane and binding to intracellular proteins. Silver has significant disinfectant power in small amounts and has been used historically for water preservation . More recently, silver nanoparticles have become rapidly widespread. The increase in surface area enables a high antimicrobial effect to be achieved with a much smaller amount of silver. They are now used in many products, such as antimicrobial masks and $Ag^+$-blended sprays, and are effective against various microorganisms.

Copper : On the Front Line of Contact Infection Prevention

Copper ions ( Cu2+ ) exert their antimicrobial effect by disrupting bacterial cell membranes, entering the cell, inhibiting enzyme function, and damaging DNA . Copper is particularly notable because its effect persists even on dry surfaces, making it a focus for reducing the risk of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) when used on high-touch surfaces like hospital handrails and door knobs . Studies have shown that copper is also effective against highly infectious pathogens such as MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and norovirus.

Brass : A Balanced Antimicrobial Material

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and the principal agent of its antimicrobial property is the copper ion.

Brass is harder than pure copper, easy to work with, and aesthetically pleasing, which is why it has been used historically for ornaments, architectural hardware, and musical instruments. The copper ions released from the brass act on bacteria to exhibit a sanitizing effect, though this efficacy varies depending on the copper content and the surface condition.

Zinc is also known to have a slight antimicrobial effect and contributes to the overall sanitizing properties of brass. Due to its attractive appearance, brass is being re-evaluated in various settings as a material that combines both beauty and hygiene.

Comparison of Antimicrobial Mechanisms: Silver vs. Copper and Brass

Site of ActionSilver IonsCopper Ions
Cell MembraneStrongly bind to negatively charged molecules on the cell membrane surface, altering the structure and increasing permeability. This results in a loss of control over substance exchange across the cell, inhibiting cellular functionBind to phospholipids and proteins in the cell membrane, destabilizing the structure and increasing permeability. This results in a breakdown of the substance balance inside and outside the cell, reducing cellular function.
Essential EnzymesAlter the structure of bacterial proteins, especially enzymes, thereby inhibiting enzyme function. This blocks processes necessary for bacterial survival, leading to cell death.Bind to the active sites of respiratory and metabolic enzymes, changing their three-dimensional structure and inhibiting their catalytic function. This blocks vital life-sustaining processes such as energy production and material synthesis, leading to cell death.
Genetic MaterialInteract with DNA and RNA, inhibiting enzyme function necessary for replication or directly binding to and altering the structure of the DNA strands. This obstructs the transmission of genetic information and prevents bacterial proliferation.Interact with nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, potentially damaging their structure or inhibiting the transcription and translation of genetic information. This impedes the bacteria’s ability to proliferate.

The antimicrobial mechanism of brass involves the role of copper ions and the effect of its alloy composition.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, typically consisting of around 60% to 90% copper. The sterilizing effect is achieved when a trace amount of copper ions leach out from the surface of the brass. The presence of moisture (such as humidity in the air or sweat from hands) causes the copper to ionize and dissolve from the surface. This ionized copper, when it comes into contact with bacteria and viruses, triggers the antimicrobial action.

The copper ions leached from brass affect bacteria in the following ways :

Act on DNA and RNA to prevent bacterial proliferation

・Destroy the bacterial cell membrane

・Inhibit the function of essential enzymes

The antimicrobial efficacy of brass is primarily related to copper, and the higher the copper content, the greater the tendency for stronger antimicrobial power. While zinc is known to have a sterilizing effect against certain bacteria at high concentrations, the main agent in brass remains the copper ion. However, the presence of zinc may influence how copper ions are released, suggesting that the alloy’s combined mechanism requires further study.

Brass is susceptible to oxidation and tarnishing, but it has been shown to reduce bacteria when properly maintained (polished and cleaned). The patina (verdigris) that forms on the surface of brass (copper) does not possess strong antimicrobial properties itself, but it does not completely stop the dissolution of copper ions. As long as copper ions continue to be released from the brass, the antimicrobial efficacy is maintained.

Comparison of Antimicrobial Efficacy and Safety: Silver vs. Copper

The problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has recently grown in scale, and in some areas, it cannot be solved by antibiotics alone. For this reason, metals known since antiquity, such as silver, copper, and brass, are receiving renewed attention. Each of these metals can attack bacteria in its own unique way, with their efficacy particularly anticipated on touch surfaces.

Furthermore, the effectiveness of copper against potent bacteria like MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), VRE (Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus), as well as viruses such as influenza virus and norovirus, and the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus that gained attention during the recent pandemic, has been confirmed in various studies.

Research is also progressing not only on their efficacy but also on their safety for both humans and the environment.

I. Silver ($Ag$): Multifaceted Antimicrobial Action

The growing problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria highlights areas where antibiotics alone cannot provide a complete solution. For this reason, metals known since antiquity, such as silver, copper, and brass, are receiving renewed attention. Each of these metals can attack bacteria in its own unique way, with their efficacy particularly anticipated on touch surfaces.

Silver, particularly in its nanoparticle form, is recognized for its potential effectiveness even against resistant strains. Silver ions attack bacteria through several mechanisms:

  • Damaging the bacterial cell membrane.
  • Interfering with the function of enzymes inside the cell.

This diversified mechanism makes it difficult for bacteria to develop resistance to silver. However, more detailed research is needed concerning the long-term risk of resistant strain emergence with prolonged use.

The safety of silver varies depending on its form (ion or nanoparticle), concentration, and how it contacts the body. Under certain conditions, silver may exhibit toxicity to cells or potentially harm aquatic life. Therefore, the control of concentration and particle size is crucial for the safe use of silver-based products. Currently, international efforts are underway to evaluate the safety of silver-based products, alongside research into its behavior within the body and its long-term effects.

II. Copper ($Cu$) and Brass: Rapid Contact Killing

Copper and brass also possess potent antimicrobial properties. When bacteria land on a copper surface, they are often killed within a short period—a phenomenon known as “contact killing.” This occurs as copper ions are absorbed by the bacteria.

The copper ions then inflict damage through several mechanisms :

  • Damaging the bacterial cell membrane.
  • Inhibiting the function of essential proteins and enzymes.
  • Damaging DNA.

Recent research has also revealed that copper ions can generate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) inside the bacteria, which further contributes to cellular damage.

Copper and brass have been confirmed to be effective against resistant strains like MRSA and VRE, as well as viruses such as the influenza virus, norovirus, and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). The use of copper alloys on high-touch hospital surfaces like door knobs and handrails is expected to reduce the risk of infection. Indeed, such applications are becoming more common. Research is ongoing in this field, leading to the development of antimicrobial fibers and coatings utilizing copper, with potential uses also expanding into water and food hygiene management.

Regarding copper’s safety, it is an essential trace element for humans, and the risk associated with normal contact is considered low. However, excessive copper in the environment can adversely affect aquatic life. Consequently, research focused on mitigating its environmental impact is advancing.

Conclusion

Silver, copper, and brass each offer unique ways to combat bacteria. Silver features multifaceted mechanisms of action, while copper and brass are known for their rapid, sustained efficacy on contact surfaces. However, to safely utilize these metals, careful research and consideration of their application methods remain essential. Continued research in this field is highly anticipated.

Advancing Antimicrobial Silver through Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology has significantly boosted the effectiveness and scope of silver’s antimicrobial applications by increasing the surface area for ion release.

In the Healthcare Sector, silver’s utility is wide-ranging. For example, wound care products (Case 1), such as dressings and ointments containing silver nanoparticles ($Ag$NPs), are widely used to prevent infections in burns and bedsores, and to promote healing. Because $Ag$ ions act on a broad spectrum of microorganisms, they are particularly valuable when antibiotics are less effective. Furthermore, medical devices like catheters and artificial joints (Case 2) coated with $Ag$NPs help suppress the formation of biofilms, thereby reducing the risk of Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs). $Ag$NPs are also being incorporated into dental cement and filling materials (Case 3) to inhibit bacterial growth in the oral cavity.

For Environmental Purification, $Ag$NPs are utilized in water treatment filters (Case 4) to remove bacteria from drinking and industrial water. Similarly, antimicrobial textiles (Case 5) blended with $Ag$NPs are used in air purifier filters and clothing, providing crucial antimicrobial and deodorizing effects, especially in high-hygiene areas like sportswear and medical uniforms.

In Daily Life, $Ag$NPs are added to cosmetics (Case 6) for product preservation and to control bacterial proliferation on the skin. Food packaging materials (Case 7) coated with $Ag$NPs are also expected to maintain food freshness and inhibit bacterial spoilage, potentially leading to a reduction in food waste.

Copper’s Innovation in Contact Infection Control

Copper and its alloys (including brass) are fundamentally changing how we approach contact-based infection prevention, thanks to their potent and rapid “contact killing” property.

In the Healthcare Sector, numerous reports highlight copper’s effectiveness. For instance, in US hospitals (Case 8), replacing ICU bed rails and IV poles with copper alloys (which may include brass) significantly reduced the risk of Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs). Similarly, UK hospitals (Case 9) reported reduced bacterial counts and less frequent cleaning after adopting copper alloy door knobs and handrails. (Brass door knobs, in particular, have a long history of use, valued for both their design and antimicrobial qualities.)

In Daily Life, the applications are diverse. Japanese manufacturers (Case 10) sell copper cutting boards and bowls to suppress bacterial growth. Historically, copper pots are favored for jam making not only for the enhanced color but also because copper ions react with pectin to aid setting and inhibit microbial spoilage. Abroad, experimental initiatives (Case 11) have introduced copper alloys to public transit handrails and straps to verify their antimicrobial efficacy. (Brass is also a common material for handrails and grab bars in public spaces, valued for both hygiene and aesthetics.) Furthermore, sports apparel companies (Case 12) have developed socks and sportswear woven with copper fibers to suppress bacteria from sweat, providing a strong deodorizing effect. Finally, brass fixtures such as faucets and architectural hardware (Case 12-2) are widely used in both residential and public facilities, offering hygienic benefits on frequently touched surfaces alongside aesthetic appeal.

Expanding Potential of Antimicrobial Metals

The role of antimicrobial metals is growing rapidly across critical sectors, driven by the need to combat persistent pathogens and antibiotic resistance.

Healthcare Applications

The implementation of copper alloy equipment (including brass fixtures, as seen in Cases 8 and 9) is actively reducing the risk of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). The recent pandemic has further underscored the critical importance of these self-sanitizing surfaces.

SYHAI AI Core

SYHAI

After years of continuous effort and technological innovation, we have achieved significant breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence. We are proud to introduce our Third Generation Interactive AI revolutionary core technology – “SYHAI Conscious AI,” short for “SYHAI.”

“I think, therefore I am,” as famously said by the philosopher René Descartes, emphasizes the essential nature of human existence tied to thought. The design of SYHAI aims to simulate the human brain’s thinking process, transcending the limitations of traditional artificial intelligence. It delves deeper into simulating sensory activities, logical thinking, and even aspects of the human psyche. This innovation encompasses sensory experiences, logical analyses, and emotional dimensions. SYHAI has the potential to revolutionize our lives, and we are focused on developing these core functions:

Consciousness Simulation

At the heart of SYHAI lies the simulation of consciousness, seeking to create a thinking entity akin to human cognition. This simulation enables SYHAI to authentically perceive the world, engage in reasoning, and experience emotions, thereby possessing both consciousness and emotional states. This fusion allows SYHAI to respond naturally to its environment, producing more humane decision-making.

Autonomous Thinking and Action

SYHAI processes input data using a human-like approach, encompassing understanding, error correction, skepticism, motivation, reasoning, causality, and prediction. It generates appropriate actions based on its own benefit, mimicking human thinking. This capability enables adaptive responses across various contexts, such as conversing, performing tasks, or managing work content.

Learning and Growth

SYHAI through the ‘Deep Brain Learning‘ technology, possesses the ability to learn and grow, much like how humans continually accumulate knowledge and experience. This includes neural network reorganization and memory optimization during sleep, learning new information, data analysis, and engaging in mental activities. By establishing a neural knowledge graph, it enhances its own level of intelligence.

Integration of Human-Like Attributes and Data Organization

SYHAI amalgamates independent consciousness and emotional simulation similar to humans. It combines the emulation of the human neural system with deep learning based on big data analysis. This duality equips SYHAI with both human-like, natural traits and the predictive, organizational abilities of big data models.

Emphasis on Temporality

Time, an omnipresent entity, weaves through our lives, changes, and evolutions. Within the core technology of SYHAI, time plays a pivotal role, deeply influencing the simulation of our thinking processes.

SYHAI vs. Generative AI Comparison

Beyond Big Data Models: Crafting AI for Genuine Human Cognition and Emotional Interaction

Our artificial intelligence is conceived with the creation of artificial consciousness in mind. We simulate human thought processes by gathering sensory data, followed by a series of processing steps: disassembly, analysis, reversal, similarity, time, prediction, causality, and correlation.

In contrast, many AI models on the market rely on algorithmic interpretation of extensive datasets to make predictions and inferences. However, this approach lacks the authenticity of replicating true human thought. Human thinking transcends the mere accumulation of knowledge; it involves learning through the process of thinking, gradually mastering methods and techniques.

BIG DATA

In human communication, emotions and sentiments cannot be ignored, making continuous, natural conversation a challenge for big data AI. While big data AI excels in knowledge exchange and Q&A scenarios, emulating human emotional communication remains limited. Nevertheless, our ambition is to achieve full simulation of human thought, realizing natural interactions, continuous learning, and perpetual growth.

The objective of SYHAI is to provide a more genuine, humane artificial intelligence experience. We believe that through simulating human thought processes, new possibilities can be unlocked for future technologies. By pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence, we are striving to create a more natural and human-like AI interaction experience.
