However, the effect of CAC-717 on other microorganisms and the mechanisms by which CAC-717 inactivates the microorganisms remain unclear. In this study, CAC-717 was further evaluated in terms of its biocidal and virucidal activity as well as its effect on bacterial and viral nucleic acids.Methods: The inactivation effects of CAC-717 against various microorganisms [non-enveloped virus, feline calicivirus (FCV); bacteria, Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli] were investigated by comparing the viral titer of the medium tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) and the D value (estimated treatment time required to reduce the number of microorganisms by 90%). Furthermore, the effects of CAC-717 on viral and bacterial genomic RNA/DNA were examined using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Results: Treatment of an equal volume of CAC-717 with cell lysate infected with a non-enveloped virus, feline calicivirus (FCV), reduced the TCID50. Viral titer dropped below the detection limit after 2 min of treatment. The D value of FCV was 0.256 min (average of multiple endpoint D values) and endpoint D value was 0.341 min. The D value for E. coli and S. enterica was 0.290 min and 0.080 min (average of multiple endpoint D values), respectively and the endpoint D value was 0.545 min and 0.054 min, respectively. In addition, PCR showed the inhibition of nucleic acid amplification of the RNA and DNA genome of FCV and bacteria, respectively.Conclusion: Our findings suggest that CAC-717 inactivates viruses and bacteria by modifying the viral and bacterial nucleic acids.Keywords: class I disinfectant, E. coli, feline calicivirus, food safety, meso-structure, Salmonella
