Abstract: An antimicrobial composition is disclosed that contains an acid-solubilized copper ammonium or copper-zinc ammonium complex that is effective against microorganisms such as nosocomial or environmental bacteria, fungi, viruses, and the like. The antimicrobial composition can be used in the preparation of a medicament for treating microbes or a microbial infection, and may contain a carrier to create a cream, soap, wash, spray, dressing, cleanser, cosmetic product, topical drug product, or other antimicrobial product.

Abstract: In accordance with, the present invention, there is provided an antimicrobial composition comprising an aqueous solution containing copper and/or zinc ions, optionally a hydroxide salt, and phosphorous acid. The composition, is additionally sporicidal and scleroticidal when combined with a salt of nitrous acid such as sodium nitrite. The present invention may also include chemicals containing the phosphite or phosphonaie group (PO/l which can inhibit the formation of scierotia at concentrations that are readily achievable for agricultural applications. Compositions of the present invention, inhibit, scierotia formation by fungi and may therefore be used in the field to prevent the continuation and advancement of pathogenie fungi.

Abstract: Antimicrobial compositions of phosphorous acid-solubilized copper ammonium complex and phosphorous acid-solubilized copper-zinc ammonium complex combined with a water soluble salt of sorbic acid, such as potassium sorbate, are disclosed. The antimicrobial activity of the compositions are synergistically enhanced with the addition of a water soluble salt of sorbic acid to create a composition that is highly effective against pathogens such as plant pathogenic microorganisms including oomycetes, fungi, and bacteria.
