Distinct sub-MIC kill kinetics of Cu and Ag in <i>Escherichia coli</i>

2025-08-27

Abstract excerpt

Copper and silver are well-known and widely used antimicrobial metals that are often considered to employ diverse overlapping biocidal mechanisms of action and induce corresponding bacterial defense responses. Exposure to antimicrobial metals at concentrations below the minimal inhibitory concentration (sub-MIC) are widespread in natural, clinical and built environments and can shape evolutionary trajectories of t...
