Antibacterial activity against foodborne bacteria (Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Enteritidis) and inhibitory activity against murine norovirus, a human norovirus surrogate, of 28 extracts from plants endemic to Korea were investigated in this study. All plant extracts showed antibacterial activity only against gram-positive bacteria, B. cereus and S. aureus. Extracts from Callistemon speciosus and Nymphaea tetragona showed inhibition zones of 16.54 and 24.35 mm against B. cereus and S. aureus, respectively, presenting the highest antibacterial activities recorded in this study. Among all samples, Ardisia japonica extract at concentrations of 100 and 200 ㎍/mL showed the highest virucidal activities of 96.6 and 100.0%, respectively. Ardisia japonica, Duchesnea indica, Polygonum aviculare, and Geum japonicum extracts showed high antibacterial and virucidal activity simultaneously without Raw 264.7 cell cytotoxicity. These plant extracts may serve as potential antimicrobials to control foodborne infections.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is the causative agent of porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) and causes a considerable economic loss in swine industry. In this study, the virucidal efficacy of the disinfectant composed to n-alkyl-dimethyl-benzyl-ammonium chloride (n-ADBAC) was investigated against PEDV. A virucidal efficacy was determined with the viability of PEDV contacted with the disinfectant in Vero cells. The disinfectant and PEDV were reacted on the hard water (HW) or organic matter suspension (OM) condition. On HW condition, PEDV was inactivated with 50 fold dilutions of the disinfectant. When the antiviral effect on OM condition was evaluated, the antiviral activity of the disinfectant showed on 10 fold dilutions against PEDV. As the disinfectant possesses the virucidal efficacy against PEDV, the disinfectant solution can be used to limit the spread of animal viral diseases.

C31G is a potent antimicrobial agent and can disrupt the microbial membrane by the alkyl portion of the molecule. The objective of this study was to evaluate the virucidal effectiveness of C31G and mouthrinse containing C31G (Sense-Time) on seasonal influenza viruses. Evaluation of the virucidal activity against influenza viruses was performed with end-point titration in 10-day-old chicken embryos and Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. In vitro studies demonstrated that C31G and Sense-Time inhibited the growth of seasonal influenza viruses even in the presence of 5% organic material. Gargling with C31G or Sense-Time would enhance oropharyngeal hygiene, which would be helpful for reducing influenza transmission.

In this study, the virucidal efficacy of a fumigant containing 20% ortho-phenylphenol against classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) was examined. After each carrier deposited with CSFV and PRRSV suspensions was exposed to the fumigant in a $25-m^3$ test room for 15 h, all carriers were neutralized and diluted, and each diluted suspension was inoculated into each proper cell line. After incubation, CSFV and PRRSV viability in each cell line was examined and 50% tissue culture infectious dose $(TCID_{50})/mL$ was calculated. In the results, the concentration of viable virus in all of pathogen control-carriers was more than $2{\times}10^5TCID_{50}/mL$, and there were no cytotoxicity in all of toxicity control-carriers. In addition, the fumigant inactivated ${\geq}4.8{\log}_{10}(TCID_{50}/mL)$ of both CSFV and PRRSV. These findings will be useful for preventing the spread of CSFV and PRRSV infection.

In order to find less toxic antiviral agents from basidiomycetes, EA, the water soluble substance, was prepared from the carpophores of Elfvingia applanata (Pers.) Karst. EA was examined for antiviral activity against five strains of pathogenic viruses such as encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) Indiana and New Jersey strains, influenza A virus (Flu A), and varicella zoster virus (VZV) in vitro. Antiviral activity was evaluated by plaque reduction assay. Among five strains of viruses tested, EA exhibited the most potent antiviral activity against VSV Indiana strain with 50% effective concentration $(EC_{50})$ of 0.104 mg/ml in Vero cells, and its selectivity index (SI) was 36.5. EA was also examined for the virucidal activity, antiviral activity in preincubation on VSV Indiana strain in order to examine possible mode of antiviral activity. Preincubation of Vero cells with EA did not confer protection against VSV, however, prolonged exposure of cells to EA inhibited the replication of virus dose-dependently. In virucidal activity, the titer of infectious virus did not decrease significantly.

Objectives: This study evaluated the virucidal efficacy against avian influenza virus (AIV) of a disinfectant spray containing 0.25% grapefruit seed extract, 0.2% citric acid, 0.0625% malic acid and 0.0125% benzalkonium chloride. Methods: The disinfectant spray was diluted several times with hard water (HW) and organic matter (OM). Two point five mL of each diluent was added into each test tube, and 2.5 mL of AIV suspension was inserted into each test tube. After 30 minutes of virus-disinfectant contact reaction at $4^{\circ}C$, 2.5 mL of 10% inactivated fetal bovine serum was added into each test tube to neutralize the sanitizer efficacy. The neutralized solutions were serial 10-fold dilutions with phosphate buffer solution, and 0.2 mL of the diluents was injected into the allantoic cavity of five ten-day-old-chickens per dilution time. After incubation of the embryos for five days, the viability of the AIV was examined by hemagglutination titer. The valid dilution of the disinfectant spray was estimated according to the dilution time that the virus titer was inactivated more than $10^4$ 50% egg-infective dose (EID50)/mL compared with pathogen control. Results: In HW and OM conditions, the valid dilutions of the disinfectant spray against AIV were seven- and three-fold dilutions, respectively. The AIV titer of the pathogen control was more than 6.1 log10EID50/mL, and there was no embryonic toxicity. Conclusion: The present study showed that this disinfectant spray has effective virucidal activity against AIV.

본 연구는 황색포도상구균 박테리오파지를 물리화학적 방법을 통해서 제어하기 위해 황색포도상구균을 대상으로 하는 SAP 84 와 SAP 89를 신규 분리하였다. 그리고, 황색포도상구균 박테리오파지에 대해 물리적 방법으로 $55^{\circ}C$ 및 $60^{\circ}C$ 열처리와 pH 4, pH 7, pH 10 처리하였다. 그 결과 SAP 84는 $60^{\circ}C$에서 급격히 감소하였고 SAP 89는 $60^{\circ}C$에서 25 분 만에 모두 활성을 잃었다. SAP 84는 pH 4 ~ 10에서 매우 안정적이었고 SAP 89는 pH 10 이상에서 비교적 불안정해지는 것을 보였다. 화학적 방법으로는 에탄올과 차아염소산나트륨 및 FAS 처리를 하였다. SAP 84가 50%, 70% 에탄올에서 급격히 감소하였다. 살균력이 좋은 100 ppm의 차아염소산 나트륨에서도 SAP 84와 SAP 89는 상당히 안정적인 상태를 유지하고 있다. Virucidal agent로 사용되는 FAS를 10% 농도로 처리하였을 때 SAP 84와 SAP 89 모두 처리 직후부터 제거되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 SAP 84와 SAP 89 모두 화학적 처리 방법인 FAS 처리를 통해서 제어 가능함을 보여주었다. 이외에도 SAP 84는 물리적 방법인 열처리의 저감화 효과가 좋았으며 SAP 89는 화학적 방법인 에탄올 처리의 저감화 효과가 비교적 좋았다. 이렇듯 물리화학적 처리방법으로 황색포도상구균 박테리오파지를 제어 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
