Inactivation of Non-Enveloped Viruses and Bacteria by an Electrically Charged Disinfectant Containing Meso-Structure Nanoparticles via Modification of the Genome

摘要

A previous study demonstrated the virucidal effect of an electrically charged disinfectant (CAC-717), which contains meso-structure nanoparticles, on enveloped viruses (influenza viruses). However, the effect of CAC-717 on other microorganisms and the mechanisms by which CAC-717 inactivates the microorganisms remain unclear. In this study, CAC-717 was further evaluated in terms of its biocidal and virucidal activity as well as its effect on bacterial and viral nucleic acids.
