What to know

  • Texas A&M researchers are studying how copper functions as a natural antimicrobial defense in urinary tract infections.
  • The research aims to understand bacterial resistance mechanisms and develop new treatment strategies for antibiotic-resistant infections.
  • Copper is an essential trace mineral that the body uses to combat infections as antibiotic resistance grows.

“When bacteria invade the urinary tract, the body has its own arsenal for fighting back. Among those weapons is an unlikely tool: copper.”
