Relative abundances of bacteria isolated from copper coins and their resistance to metallic copper surfaces. The relative abundances of 294 bacterial strains isolated from European copper coins at time zero and the relative abundances of copper surface-resistant isolates after exposure to experimental pure metallic copper surfaces for 1, 2, and 7 days are shown.
