Legionella pneumophila

Hi,
I am very interested in finding a way of killing the outer membrane of most types of proteins of Legionella pneumophila. Something new and alternative. E.g. copper is well known to kill bacteria- could a copper legion with some other metal be effective against it? Are there chemicals in solid state that can??
Sorry for bad english and for possibly posting it in the wrong place. It's my first 3 minutes here

Yes copper is very reactive, and capable of splitting hydrogen peroxide in half to form 2 HO•. Copper chalcogenides as nanoparticles are particularly good photocatalysts: e.g. CuS(s) CuSe can even split O

Quaternary ammonium compounds aka "quats". Surface anchored ones work extremely well. I conveniently wrote a review article on this topic
