Cooper used to be used in all hospital piping which helped reduce viruses. Now pvc is main piping material used. Not sure if sepsis was an issue years ago, but it seems to be now.
You can still have legionella bacteria reproduce in even copper pipes if the water sits stagnant long enough.
I was referring to the outside of the pipe harboring bacteria.
