Hydrophobic polycationic coatings disinfect poliovirus and rotavirus solutions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coating surfaces with N-alkylated polyethylenimines (PEIs), namely branched N,N-hexyl,methyl-PEI via covalent attachment to glass or linear N,N-dodecyl,methyl-PEI by physical deposition ("painting") onto polyethylene, enables the resultant materials to quickly and efficiently disinfect aqueous solutions of (non-enveloped) poliovirus and rotavirus.

Mechanism of inactivation of influenza viruses by immobilized hydrophobic polycations.
N,N-dodecyl,methyl-polyethylenimine coatings applied to solid surfaces have been shown by us to disinfect aqueous solutions of influenza viruses. Herein we elucidate the mechanism of this phenomenon. Infectivity-, protein-, RNA-, and scanning electron microscopy-based experiments reveal that, upon contact with the hydrophobic polycationic coating, influenza viruses (including pathogenic human a...
متن کاملDetection of poliovirus, hepatitis A virus, and rotavirus from sewage and ocean water by triplex reverse transcriptase PCR.
A triplex reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) was developed to simultaneously detect poliovirus, hepatitis A virus (HAV), and rotavirus in sewage and ocean water. Sewage and ocean water samples seeded with the three different viruses were concentrated by ultrafiltration. The unseeded ocean water and sewage samples were concentrated by vortex flow filtration and/or ultrafiltration. Random hexamer...
متن کاملMethods for recovering poliovirus and rotavirus from oysters.
Polioviruses and rotaviruses are potential indicators of sewage pollution of water and shellfish. Several methods for detecting these viruses in oysters were assessed. Elution-precipitation involving Catfloc for clarification and skim milk for subsequent flocculation resulted in the recovery of an average of 79% of poliovirus type 1 and 37% of rotavirus SA-11 from oyster homogenates inoculated ...
متن کاملAntibiotics help control rotavirus infections and enhance antirotaviral immunity: are you serious?
Yes and no. Yes, we must understand intriguing new findings; but no, we are far from serious about widespread use of antimicrobials with routine immunizations. In this issue, Uchiyama and colleagues [1] pry open our thinking about resident microbiota and host resistance to enteric viral infections. They describe how antibiotics (ampicillin and neomycin, given for 2–8 weeks) reduce murine rotavi...
متن کاملNoncovalent polycationic coatings for capillaries in capillary electrophoresis of proteins.
The adsorption of proteins with net positive charges (pI > pH) on the walls of fused-silica capillaries is a common problem in the analysis of proteins by capillary electrophoresis. This paper explores the use of polycationic polymers as noncovalent coatings to limit this problem. The behavior of three sets of proteins was compared using uncoated and coated capillaries: (i) a protein charge lad...
