Effectiveness of potassium peroxymonosulfate against enveloped viruses using an aqueous phase and its application on various contaminated carrier surfaces and artificially avian influenza virus-contaminated clothes

Background and Aim: Potassium peroxymonosulfate (PPMS) is a broad-spectrum disinfectant that oxidizes viral protein capsids. The effectiveness of PPMS in killing viruses depends on several factors, including its concentration, contact time, and present of organic materials. This study evaluated the efficacy of PPMS in an aqueous phase. It also applied PPMS to artificially avian influenza virus (AIV)-contaminated carrier surfaces and clothes and compared its effectiveness with that of sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) and quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC).
Materials and Methods: Four PPMS concentrations (1×, 0.5×, 0.25×, and 0.125×), were evaluated for their virucidal efficacy against Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and AIV in an aqueous phase. The evaluation included testing in the absence and presence of organic materials under different exposure times, such as 5 s, 30 s, 1 min, 3 min, 5 min, 10 min, and 15 min. AIV inactivation was assessed on contaminated carrier surfaces, such as stainless steel, rubber, plastic, and artificially contaminated clothes.
Results: In aqueous phase, concentrations of 1×, 0.5×, 0.25×, and 0.125× inactivated NDV in the absence of organic materials within 5 s, 5 s, 5 min, and 15 min at concentrations of 1×, 0.5×, 0.25×, and 0.125×, respectively. In the presence of organic material contamination, NDV could be inactivated within 30 s for 1×, 1 min for 0.5×, and 10 min for 0.25×; however, 0.125× PPMS did not achieve inactivation within 15 min. PPMS concentrations of 1×, 0.5×, 0.25×, and 0.125× inactivated AIV within 5 s, 5 s, 5 s, and 30 s, respectively, in both the absence and presence of organic materials. PPMS at a concentration of 1× could inactivate AIV on all carriers within 30 s. PPMS at 0.5× and 0.25× concentrations could inactivate AIV within 30 s on rubber and plastic; inactivation occurred within 1 min on stainless steel. However, 0.125× PPMS and 1× QAC could not achieve inactivation within 3 min on all carriers. Finally, PPMS concentrations of 1×, 0.5×, 0.25×, and 0.125× inactivated AIV on rayon sheets within 5 s, 30 s, 5 min, and 15 min, respectively. However, the recommended NaDCC concentration achieved inactivation within 10 min, whereas QAC did not achieve inactivation within 15 min.
Conclusion: PPMS can inactivate enveloped viruses such as NDV and AIV. Furthermore, PPMS is superior to NaDCC and QAC for inactivating viruses on various carrier surfaces and artificially contaminated clothes. However, the virucidal efficacy of PPMS depends on the optimal concentration, organic material conditions, and exposure/contact timing. Therefore, PPMS is a promising alternative disinfectant crucial for enhancing biosecurity and controlling viruses that contaminate animal farms, slaughterhouses, and hospitals.
