Testing potentiality of copper particles as antimicrobial agent by kirby bauer test to inhibit the activity of various microorganisms when applied to fabrics especially medical wear

Abstract

Traditional antimicrobial finishes often rely on synthetic chemicals, which is costly alongside not suitable for the environment. Commercially available antimicrobial agents, when applied to textiles, often result in the release of hazardous effluents during laundering processes. These effluents pose significant environmental threats and, in extreme cases, may have detrimental effects on human health, particularly among vulnerable populations such as infants. In light of these concerns, the current study purpose is to find out an easiest way to find out antimicrobial using copper sulphate a compound recognized for its relatively low environmental toxicity. The aim is to establish a sustainable and practical alternative to conventional chemical treatments that ensures both microbial resistance and ecological safety. When copper finished samples are tested its resulted as intermediate for Bacillus subtilis & Staphylococcus aureus.
