Abstract

A worldwide increase of multi-resistant microorganisms, responsible for millions of deaths per year requires immediate, innovative and ambitious action. Pathogens are distributed by the hands of the personnel. In situ generated biocides by catalysts (molybdenum oxide, tungsten blue oxide, Zinc molybdate and polyoxometallates) show fast antimicrobial activity against a very broad spectrum of bacterial pathogens including microorganisms embedded in a biofilm, fungi, moulds and several viral pathogens including COVID 19 on surfaces. Transition metal oxides can be incorporated into various coatings and polymers, they are water insoluble and have a documented duration of activity of at least 10 years and 10 000 cleanings. Transition metal oxides are not toxic, there is no induction of resistance. The activity and marketability have been documented by external laboratories and the BPR of the EU.
