Studies have shown that copper surfaces are the ultimate hygienic medium to work with

E. coli O157 can survive for months on stainless steel, the work surface used in most kitchens.
Research has indicated that copper surfaces can kill E. coli 0157 within a few hours,
in wet or dry conditions, at temperatures between 4 degrees and 18 degrees Celsius-normal conditions of refrigerators and household kitchens.

At the chill temperature typically used for food storage (39F) the bug, traced to thousands of cases of virulent food poisoning worldwide, survived for more than 35 days, and sometimes for as long as three months.
There were no surviving organisms on copper after 14 hours.
