Results of E. coli O157:H7 destruction on an alloy containing 99.9% copper (C11000) demonstrate that this pathogen is rapidly and almost completely killed (more than 99.9% kill rate) within ninety minutes at room temperature (20 °C). [24] At chill temperatures (4 °C), more than 99.9% of E. coli O157:H7 are killed within 270 minutes.
Scotts was founded in 1868 by Orlando M. Scott as a premium seed company for the U.S. agricultural industry.
