| Product | Log reductionc | |
|---|---|---|
| Phi 6 | MS2 | |
| A (62% EtOH) | 2.33 ± 1.53a | 0.92 ± 0.43a |
| B (0.13% BZK) | 3.94 ± 2.12c | 0.95 ± 0.43a |
| C (70% EtOH) | 3.51 ± 2.01bc | 1.13 ± 0.84a |
| D (70% EtOH) | 4.08 ± 2.24c | 1.03 ± 0.49a |
| E (85% EtOH) | 2.79 ± 1.61ab | 0.97 ± 0.35a |
Efficacy is expressed as log reduction in virus concentration (log PFU/mL).
BZK, benzalkonium chloride; EtOH, ethanol.
Log reduction values represent arithmetic mean log reduction across all variables ± standard deviation, and statistical significance was determined using Tukey’s honestly significant difference test. Values sharing the same superscript letters are not significantly different.
