Abstract:The aim of this research is to study the bactericidal effects of
copper-polypyrrole composites deposited onto 316L SS modified with silver
nanoparticles. The antimicrobial properties were evaluated against
twenty-four strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Among the
twenty-four strains studied, isolates included reference strains (E. coli
ATCC 25922, E. coli 0157:H7 EDL 933, S. aureus ATCC 25923 and L.
monocytogenes ATCC 7644), as well as strains isolated from food and clinical
