Liquid BIAKŌS antimicrobial skin and wound cleanser (AWC) and AWC2 have disinfectant effects against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). (A) SARS-CoV-2 titres were reduced after contact with liquid AWC or AWC2. The virus was added to liquid AWC or AWC2 in a 1:10 ratio and the mixture was titrated. (B) AWC and AWC2 disinfected SARS-CoV-2 from skin. SARS-CoV-2 was added to porcine skin and an equal volume of disinfectant was added. Error bars indicate standard deviations. One-way analysis of variance with Sidak's multiple comparison test was used to assess significance. ∗∗∗∗P<0.001. LOD, limit of detection; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; PFU, plaque-forming units.
