<p dir="ltr">The transfer of microorganisms via aerosol deposition on surfaces represents a key pathway to the spread of infection throughout the built environment.
Description
Antimicrobial surfaces offer a passive and complementary solution to current infection prevention and control systems. However, methods to accurately assess antimicrobial surfaces contaminated via aerosols are lacking.
This study developed a novel chamber to reproducibly deposit aerosolised bacteria and bacteriophage to antimicrobial copper surfaces via a nebuliser and compressed air pump. The chamber was assessed for optimal aliquot volume, coupon location and microbial titre, alongside the survival of the microorganisms on inert surfaces and the impact of aerosol deposition and environmental relative humidity on the antimicrobial efficacy of copper surfaces.

The chamber demonstrated reproducible transfer to leneta, stainless steel, and copper coupons. The antimicrobial efficacy of copper coupons was highly limited against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538p), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15442) and Φ6 bacteriophage (ATCC 21781 - B1). Additionally, antimicrobial efficacy of copper coupons against S. aureus was reduced in drier environments, with the greatest population reduction observed in high (> 60%) relative humidity environments, compared to the mid (40-60%) and low (< 30%) relative humidity environments, with greater effects being observed for P. aeruginosa.
These results present a novel and validated protocol to simulate the contamination of surfaces within the built environment via aerosols and demonstrates the need for new standards that assess antimicrobial surfaces in an environment more analogous to the intended end-use.</p>
