• { <br />RESEARCH BUSLETIN <br />AdAINST, MANY,111POPIVILM.,VIRUSES.", <br />TOR diluted 1:64 inactivated four test viruses which are representative of four families of lipophilic <br />viruses. <br />ORGANISMS: Influenza A2/Hong Kong Adenovirus Type 2 <br />Herpes Simplex <br />Vaccinia <br />PROCEDURES: One tenth ml of test virus was added to 0.9 ml of TOR diluted 1:64 and exposed <br />for 10 minutes at room temperature. Ten fold serial dilutions were prepared in <br />suitable diluent from the virus treated with the TOR use dilution. Each of the <br />serial dilutions containing the treated virus was transferred in triplicate to tissue <br />cultures for incubation. Inactivation was reported as reduction of treated virus <br />titer compared with untreated virus titer. <br />RESULTS: Influenza A2/Hong Kong — Inactivated by a 1:64 dilution of TOR. <br />Herpes Simplex Type 1 — Inactivated by a 1:64 dilution of TOR. <br />Vaccinia I —inactivated by a 1:64 dilution of TOR. <br />Adenovirus Type 2 — Inactivated by a 1:64 dilution of TOR. <br />CONCLUSIONS: TOR diluted 1:64 inactivated the four test viruses after 10 minutes contact at room <br />temperature within the limits imposed by the toxicity of the compound to the <br />tissue cultures. <br />TOR KILLS ATHLETE'S FOOT FUNGI <br />Athlete's foot is a widespread affliction and is present in nearly ail institutions. TOR kills athlete's <br />foot fungi on environmental surfaces at a dilution of 1:64. O <br />PRODUCT: TOR germicidal detergent <br />TEST METHOD: A.O.A.C. Fungicidal Test <br />DILUTION: 1:64 <br />TEST <br />ORGANISM: Trichophyton interdigitale ATCC No. 9533 <br />SUBCULTURE <br />MEDIA: Dextrose Broth with Azolectin and Tween 80 <br />INCUBATION: 10 days.at 30'C. <br />RESULT: The test was run in duplicate. No growth was obtained in the 5, 10 and 15 minute <br />intervals. The organism passed the Phenol Resistant requirements of the method. <br />CONCLUSION: When tested by the above procedure, TOR germicidal detergent was found to be <br />fungicidal at a dilution of 1:64. <br />0 <br />
