ABSTRACT 
Contamination of the surface by microbes leads to a number of harmful consequences, such as infections. One of 
the measures to prevent surface contamination is to impart antimicrobial properties to surfaces. The antimicrobial 
properties of copper have been known since ancient times, and the recent resurgence in the use of copper for use as 
antimicrobial materials or coatings is due to growing concerns about antibiotic resistance and the need to reduce the use 
of antibiotics. Copper, unlike silver, demonstrates rapid and high bactericidal efficacy against pathogens in close 
contact in indoor environmental conditions, which expands the scope of its application. This review highlights the 
mechanisms underlying the powerful antimicrobial properties of copper, the development and manufacture of copper-
based coatings, as well as their potential for practical application. 
 
Keywords: 
antimicrobial coatings, copper, antimicrobial mechanisms, contact destruction. 
Introduction 
Copper (Cu) is the 26th element in the earth's crust 
and the oldest metal [1] known to man, who used it 
since 9000 BC. [2] The potential of copper in antiseptic 
and health-improving action was recognized by key 
civilizations as early as 3000 BC and mentioned in the 
original books of Hippocrates [3] and ancient texts of 
Ayurveda. [4,5] The first article on Cu as an antimicrobial 
coating in the Scopus database was published in 1962, 
which is more than 30 years earlier than the publication 
of Ag (Fig. 1a) [6], and over the past years the number 
of studies of two varieties of antimicrobial coatings is 
constantly growing. The number of patents issued for 
antimicrobial copper coatings has also been growing 
steadily over the past 20 years (Fig. 1b), which focuses 
on the commercial significance of these coatings. Cu 
and either its compounds have been studied for use 
against marine biofouling [7,8], as well as for their 
efficacy against a number of pathogenic microorganisms, 
such as gram-positive LHC
