According to recent research published in the Journal of Hospital Infection, "human adenoviruses are model viruses for testing the virucidal efficacy of disinfectants. However, a recent study has shown that the chemical sensitivity of adenovirus serotypes varies significantly, possibly due to the composition of the viral capsid and/or the resistance of nucleic acids. We have investigated the effect of molecular changes in the viral genome of the human adenovirus subgenera C and D."
"A common oligonucleotide fragment within the hexon gene was amplified by polymerase chain...
