Efficacy of Copper Charged Water against Candida albicans

Rinky Mudiar, Ashok Bhagawat and Varsha Kelkar

Copper has been proved to be an effective antimicrobial agent with added advantage of being harmless to human at low concentration. This research has been done to assess the affectivity of copper along with some other metals, on an opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans. Copper was found to be the most potent of all. Metallic copper was then compared with copper charged water for its action on the same fungus. Along with this brilliant metal, its water also has antifungal action even better than a standard antifungal drug, fluconazole, at its MIC. Upon introduced in media, copper charged water shows changes in Candida growth pattern.
