Figure 2

Effect of commercially available alcohols in inactivating monkeypox virus. A) Results for ethanol. B) Results for 2-propanol. Means of 3 independent experiments with SDs (error bars) are shown. Reduction factors are included above the bars. Biocide concentrations ranged from 0% to 80% with an exposure time of 30 s. Viral titers are displayed as TCID50/mL values. LLOQ, lower limit of quantification (1.58 × 102 TCID50/mL); NA, not applicable; TCID50, 50% tissue culture infectious dose; ULOQ, upper limit of quantification (1.58 × 109 TCID50/mL).
