Copper and silver are good for stopping bacterial growth : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/28407716/

Are there any materials can slow or stop fungal growth?



Baby powder works wonders for fungus. It destroyed jock itch when the azole anti fungals couldnt. Just dry out the fungus if its external. Internal fungals are an entirely different beast..


Exactly. Fungus are usually quite straightforward to eradicate on the surface of the body or on non-porous material. The issue with Candida auris is that it gets in the patient's blood and inside the porous ceiling tiles and walls.
