Both are antimicrobial. Silver is far more effective and broad spectrum than copper though. Copper compounds are poisonous to algae, for instance.

This is what I've been told by various doctors/nurses. Neither silver or copper may be antimicrobial in the concentrations found in our loops, though. Anyone know for sure?
