Microbiologically induced corrosion of copper intrauterine devices “TCu380A” and “Nova T” by Enterobacter sp. in a synthetic intrauterine medium was investigated.

• The corrosion behaviour was evaluated applying cyclic voltammetry and Tafel Polarization.
• The surface morphology was determined using scanning electron microscopy
• The corrosion products were analyzed using energy dispersive X-rays
• The biofilm composition was examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with an attenuated total reflectance device.
