“…The study concluded that incorporation of copper alloys to commonly used areas can help to decrease infection spread from touching surfaces contaminated with Coronaviruses [44]. Antimicrobial properties mainly on pathogenic bacteria of copper previously reported [61][62][63]. Also, viral inactivation of murine norovirus (MNV) on copper and copper alloy surfaces was reported [64].…”

SARS-CoV-2, a novel Coronavirus that causes COVID-19 disease and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Until now, foodborne or waterborne exposure to this virus has not been reported as the transmission route. However, the infected individual in the food production and service facility and, contaminated surfaces, may serve as the source of transmission route since Coronavirus can survive on the inanimate surfaces. Based on the available data, we reviewed the persistence of Coronaviruses on inanimate surfaces in the context of the food contact materials. Coronavirus persists on stainless steel, plastic and glass surfaces for a few days which are commonly used in food production and processing facilities. Therefore, appropriate food contact materials having fewer risk levels can be preferred. Additionally, using biocidal surfaces could help reduce the incidence of infections spread due to touching contaminated surfaces. In other parts of this review, appropriate inactivation procedures and ongoing food handling practices were explained. For prevention of virus transfer due to the contamination of food packaging material and also, food-handling by an infected person through food processing and serving, ongoing hygiene practices in food facilities should continue and inactivation procedures should be widened by taking into consideration the human Coronavirus and also, other foodborne viruses which have distinct properties compared to bacteria. Last of all, pandemics have impacts on the food supply chains, especially during harvest and logistics. Therefore, it is important to continue production and processing by raising awareness about food safety to ensure people in the food supply chain are not at risk of transmission.

“…Медь используется иммунной системой хозяина для уничтожения бактерий, так как способна усиливать окислительный стресс в макрофагах, а дефицит меди приводит к угнетению иммунитета [7]. В исследовании поверхностей с противомикробным покрытием против S. aureus, E. coli и L. monocytogenes медь продемонстрировала больший антимикробный потенциал, чем серебро, цинк и титан [8]. Было показано, что наночастицы меди имеют более высокое сродство к аминам и карбоксильным группам и показывают более высокую плотность на поверхности B. subtilis, чем наночастицы серебра, что приводит к более высокой антимикробной активности.…”

The spread of strains of microorganisms that are multidrug resistant to modern antimicrobial drugs is still an urgent problem in the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases and public health in general.Currently, the possibility of using metal nanopreparations in various fields of medicine is being actively studied. Nanoparticles of metals and metal oxides are promising antimicrobial agents and are attracting growing interest due to their effectiveness. Nanoscale copper metal particles have shown high antimicrobial activity againstvarious types of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungi. Taking into account the potential of copper nanoparticles in antimicrobial therapy, we present an overview of the current state of research related to their antimicrobial properties, consideration of the mechanisms of action, key factors affecting antimicrobial activity, including the polymer matrix. The issues of toxicity and resistance to copper are considered. The advantage of copper nanoparticles over other metal nanoparticles is shown.The studies summarized in this review have shown the promise of copper nanoparticles in the creation of new antimicrobial drugs that can be used in the future to control, prevent, and treat various diseases.

“…Similar results were found by Gollwitzer et al [108], who showed that the presence of the copper into the final coating significantly reducing adhesion of bacteria on the surface materials with a better compromise between biocompatibility and antibacterial activity. The release of the copper from sol-gel coatings led to its direct contact with bacteria membrane, causing membrane and cell envelope damage and, thus, the bacteria growth inhibition [109]. However, the antibacterial effect of the copper also depends on the bacteria strain and differences between the Gram-positive and Gram-negative cells [110].…”

The limited lifetime of implants entails having patients undergo replacement surgeries, several times throughout life in young patients, with significant risks for them and extensive cost for healthcare service. The overcoming of such inconvenience is still today a hard challenge for the scholars of the biomedical and biomaterial fields. The improvement of the currently employed implants through surface modification by coatings application is the main strategy proposed to avoid implants failure, and the sol-gel coating is an ideal technology to achieve this goal. Therefore, the present review aims to provide an overview of the most important problems leading to implant failure, the sol-gel coating technology, and its use as a strategy to overcome such issues.
