Experimental adaptation of human echovirus 11 to ultraviolet radiation leads to resistance to disinfection and ribavirin
1 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
Ultraviolet light in the UVC range is a commonly used disinfectant to control viruses in clinical settings and water treatment. However, it is currently unknown whether human viral pathogens may develop resistance to such stressor. Here, we investigate the adaptation of an enteric pathogen, human echovirus 11, to disinfection by UVC, and characterized the underlying phenotypic and genotypic changes. Repeated...
