Virucidal activity of a quaternary ammonium compound disinfectant against feline calicivirus: a surrogate for norovirus.
BACKGROUND Norovirus, formerly known as Norwalk virus, is an important cause of gastroenteritis outbreaks in hospitals, food services, schools, and cruise ships. Infection control practices by using disinfectants to eliminate noroviruses from surfaces and environmental samples reduce the morbidity and spread of virus outbreaks. There are not many commercial disinfectants effective against norov...
متن کاملEfficacy of common disinfectant/cleaning agents in inactivating murine norovirus and feline calicivirus as surrogate viruses for human norovirus.
BACKGROUND The efficacies of disinfection by sodium hypochlorite, accelerated hydrogen peroxide (AHP), and quaternary ammonium compound (QUAT) commonly used in health care facilities were determined using the surrogate viruses murine norovirus (MNV-1) and feline calicivirus (FCV). METHODS A virus suspension of known concentration (with or without a soil load) was deposited onto stainless stee...
متن کاملVirucidal efficacy of disinfectant actives against feline calicivirus, a surrogate for norovirus, in a short contact time.
BACKGROUND Among other measures, handwashing and targeted disinfection are important in preventing and controlling norovirus outbreaks. Presently, there are a limited number of disinfectants effective against norovirus. There is a need to develop alternatives to bleach that are effective against norovirus, and, in particular, fast-acting disinfectants are desired. The aim of this study was to d...
متن کاملInactivation of murine norovirus and feline calicivirus during oyster fermentation.
Fermented seafood is popular in Asian countries. This study examined the survival of feline calicivirus (FCV) and murine norovirus (MNV) during oyster fermentation. Oysters spiked with FCV and MNV were fermented with 5% or 10% salt at 18 °C for 15 days, and MNV and FCV titers, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) populations, pH, and enzymatic activity were measured at 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 15 days post...
متن کاملSurrogates for the study of norovirus stability and inactivation in the environment: aA comparison of murine norovirus and feline calicivirus.
Human noroviruses (NoVs) are the leading cause of food- and waterborne outbreaks of acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. As a result of the lack of a mammalian cell culture model for these viruses, studies on persistence, inactivation, and transmission have been limited to cultivable viruses, including feline calicivirus (FCV). Recently, reports of the successful cell culture of murine...
