低濃度エタノールと界面活性剤の併用による新型コロナウイルスに対する不活化効果

抄録

We found the effect of ethanol, even at low concentrations, on inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 in combination with surfactants. Less than 20% ethanol did not inactivate SARS-CoV-2, whereas high virucidal effects were observed by using 10% ethanol mixed with several surfactants. The present results indicate that the combination of low concentration ethanol and multiple surfactants shows a high virucidal effect as well as a bactericidal effect. The results also provide useful information to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 contamination in the food industry, especially in the food service industry.
