Copper and its alloys (brasses, bronzes, cupronickel, copper-nickel-zinc, and others) are natural antimicrobial materials. Ancient civilizations exploited the antimicrobial properties of copper long before the concept of microbes became understood in the nineteenth century. In addition to several copper medicinal preparations, it was also observed centuries ago that water contained in copper vessels or transported in copper conveyance systems was of better quality (i.e., no or little visible slime or biofouling formation) than water contained or transported in other materials.

  • El cobre y sus aleaciones (latones, bronces, cuproníquel, cobre-níquel-zinc y otros) son materiales antimicrobianos naturales. Las civilizaciones antiguas explotaron las propiedades antimicrobianas del cobre mucho antes de que se entendiera el concepto de microbios en el siglo XIX.​​ Además de varias preparaciones medicinales de cobre, también se observó hace siglos que el agua contenida en recipientes de cobre o transportada en sistemas de transporte de cobre era de mejor calidad (es decir, poca o nula formación visible de lodo o bioincrustaciones) que el agua contenida o transportada en otros materiales.
