Abstract:
The activity of various types of detergents towards the infectivity and the hemagglutinating activity of BK virus was studied. Similarly to other non enveloped small viruses, BK virus showed a significant resistance to non cytotoxic concentrations of the compounds tested, with the exception of N-Dodecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propane-sulfonate. In some cases, mainly with N-Octylglucoside, both the infectivity and the hemagglutinating activity of BK virus was enhanced.
