Abstract
The inactivation of bacteriophages and myxoviruses by oxidized spermine, acrolein and glutaraldehyde has been studied. Oxidized spermine inactivated T5 and not T2 coliphages, while acrolein was more effective against T-even phages. Myxoviruses also differed in their sensitivity to the various aldehydes. This was determined by plaque counting or by assaying the haemagglutination activity after propagation in embryonated eggs.Keywords
