摘要
In an in-vitro test, generic liquid hand dishwashing detergents were as much as 100-fold more effective than proprietary antibacterial soaps in inactivating respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The use of such detergents for hand washing during annual RSV' epidemics, or the incorporation of their antiviral components into antibacterial soaps might be considered to limit nosocomial spread.
