PG - 605-610 LID - 10.1111/lam.13393 [doi] AB - Successful human norovirus (HuNoV) cultivation in stem cell-derived human intestinal enteroids (HIE) was recently reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-HuNoV efficacy of two alcohol-based commercial hand sanitizers and 60% ethanol by suspension assay using RNase-RT-qPCR, with subsequent validation of efficacy by HuNoV cultivation using the HIE model. In suspension, when evaluated by RNase-RT-qPCR, 60% ethanol resulted in less than one log(10) reduction in HuNoV genome equivalent copies (GEC) regardless of contact time (30 or 60s) or soil load. The two commercial products outperformed 60% ethanol regardless of contact time or soil load, providing 2.2-3.2 log(10) HuNoV GEC reductions by suspension assay. Product B could not be validated in the HIE model due to cytotoxicity. Following a 60s exposure, viral replication in the HIE model increased 1.9 +/- 0.2 log(10) HuNoV GEC for the neutralization (positive) control and increased 0.9 +/- 0.2 log(10) HuNoV GEC in challenged HIE after treatment with 60% ethanol. No HuNoV replication in HIE was observed after a 60 s exposure to Product A. CI - (c) 2020 The Authors.
