S. aureus bacteria, supported in physiological solution are subject to toxic effect of physiological'(micromolar) concentrations of free copper and zinc cations, and also copper cations, bound by human serum γ-globulin. P. aeruginosa bacteria under the same conditions.experience toxic effect of copper cations (but not zinc), free as well as bound by human serum γ-globulin. Whereas a full bactericidal effect is realized in S. aureus and P. aeruginosa cultures in the-presence of free cations of copper.
