20090018213 | ANTIVIRAL METHOD - This invention provides a method of inactivating human noroviruses and other acid stable viruses. The method includes the step of contacting the virus with a virucidally-enhanced alcoholic composition that includes an alcohol, and an enhancer selected from cationic oligomers and polymers, chaotropic agents, and mixtures thereof. | 01-15-2009 |
20100291100 | Compositions And Methods For Screening And Using Compounds Antagonizing Spore-Surface Interactions - The present invention provides genes encoding novel microbial proteins (i.e., for example, exosporium genes and proteins) that mediate the attachment of microbial spores to surfaces. Specific fragments of these microbial spore proteins may be utilized to inhibit the attachment of microbial spores to surfaces, thereby providing an infection control agent. The invention provides recombinant expression vectors comprising genes encoding exosporium proteins, as well as host cells containing these expression vectors. Further provided herein are screening methods for identifying infection control compositions comprising exosporium proteins that inhibit bacterial spore attachment to either bodily tissues or solid surfaces. Additionally, the invention provides for the use of nucleic acid inhibitors of exosporium protein expression by hybridizing with nucleic acid sequences encoding exosporium proteins as well as with exosporium mRNA. The invention further describes monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies having affinity for exosporium proteins. | 11-18-2010 |
20100317743 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR USE WITH GEL DISPENSERS - A method is provided for reducing the frequency of mis-directed output of hydroalcoholic gel from a dispenser. A method of reducing the formation of coagulated gel deposits, and dispensable hydroalcoholic gel compositions are also provided. | 12-16-2010 |
20120129950 | ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOSITIONS - A method for rapid surface sanitization is provided, where the method includes contacting the surface with an effective amount of an antimicrobial composition comprising at least about 50 wt. % of a C | 05-24-2012 |
20120134952 | Antiviral Method - This invention provides a method of inactivating non-enveloped virus particles. The method includes the step of contacting the virus with a virucidally-enhanced alcoholic composition that includes an alcohol, and an enhancer selected from the group consisting of cationic oligomers and polymers, proton donors, chaotropic agents, and mixtures thereof. | 05-31-2012 |
