In the video below, Professor Bill Keevel, director of environmental health care and microbiologist at the University of South Hampton demonstrates how the MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) virus which is most resistant to antibiotics, dies within minutes of coming into contact with copper. In this lab test we can clearly see how viruses and bacteria…
