An ultrasound probe with antimicrobial surface activity includes a housing, wherein the housing has an antimicrobial compound present at an exterior surface of the probe housing in sufficient concentration to provide antimicrobial activity with microbes that contact the exterior surface of the ultrasound probe. A plurality of antimicrobial compounds may be present at the exterior surface of the probe housing in sufficient concentration to provide antimicrobial activity. The antimicrobial compound may be an additive to a polymeric material from which the probe housing is manufactured. The antimicrobial compound may be present in an antimicrobial coating disposed on the exterior surface of the probe housing. The antimicrobial activity may provide log reductions in gram+ and gram− bacteria after 24 hours in the range from 3 to 7.
