Respiratory viruses have been reported to infect the salivary glands and the throat, which are potential reservoirs for virus replication and transmission. Therefore, strategies to reduce the amount of infective virus particles in the oral mucous membranes could lower the risk of transmission.
The viral inactivation capacity of a plant-oil-based oral rinse (Salviathymol®) was evaluated in comparison with chlorhexidine (Chlorhexamed® FORTE) using a quantitative suspension test according to EN 14476.
Salviathymol efficiently inactivated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and two influenza strains to undetectable levels.
Salviathymol has potential as preventive measure to lower transmission of respiratory viruses.
据报道，呼吸道病毒会感染唾液腺和喉咙，这些部位可能是病毒复制和传播的潜在储库。因此，减少口腔黏膜中感染性病毒颗粒数量的策略可以降低传播风险。
采用定量悬浮试验（依据 EN 14476），比较植物基漱口水（Salviathymol®）和洗必泰（Chlorhexamed® FORTE）的病毒灭活能力。
Salviathymol 可有效将严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 型（SARS-CoV-2）、呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）和两种流感株高效灭活至无法检测的水平。
Salviathymol 作为一种预防措施，具有降低呼吸道病毒传播的潜力。
