An antimicrobial spray composition is disclosed, forming a protective film on surfaces when dried. The protective film provides antimicrobial protection by killing at least 95% of microorganisms in <30 minutes of exposure. The spray composition comprises a sulfonated polymer selected from the group of perfluorosulfonic acid polymers, polystyrene sulfonates, sulfonated block copolymers, sulfonated polyolefins, sulfonated polyimides, sulfonated polyamides, sulfonated polyesters, sulfonated polysulfones, sulfonated polyketones, sulfonated poly(arylene ether), and mixtures thereof. The sulfonated polymer has a degree of sulfonation of at least 10%

A natural antibacterial and antiviral biological composition is provided for use in hospitals and homes, in particular a composition that includes ricinoleic acid derived from the extraction of castor oil, diethanolamine and propolis, a method for obtaining the composition, and the use thereof. The invention can be used to control various pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria belonging to the Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter and Bacillus genera; as well as hospital-environment fungi (filamentous and yeast-like) and phytopathogenic fungi (Colletrotichum fragariae). The product can be sprayed on biotic and abiotic surfaces, and non-woven fabric can subsequently be used to remove organic matter, including microorganisms. The product can also be used to disinfect medical, dental and hospital items by immersion followed by quick rinsing.

In one aspect, the disclosure relates to antimicrobial films for use on high-touch surfaces in medical, commercial, and residential settings and methods of making the same. The films and coatings are robust and retain activity over time and are optimized to minimize diffusion time of virus particles as well as bacterial and fungal pathogens to the inactivating layers and/or particles in the films and coatings. In another aspect, the films and coatings are capable of inactivating multiple virus, bacteria, and fungi types, can be applied as sprayable coatings or adhesive backed films, or can be incorporated into fabrics. In still another aspect, the films and coatings can be formulated as transparent or can be a neutral color such as gray or white.

Provided are a coating material and a coating method capable of making an antibacterial effect and an antiviral effect of a superficial layer of a coating target compatible for a long period of time. The coating material contains a coating agent in which inorganic polysilazane and an alkyl silicate condensate are dissolved in an inert solvent at a total concentration of 50 to 80 mass%, as a base agent, an inorganic antibacterial agent added to the base agent at a ratio of 0.1 to 5 mass%, and an inorganic antiviral agent added to the base agent at a ratio of 0.1 to 20 mass%.

To provide a sterilizing liquid and a method of producing the same that have no restrictions on application methods and usage and can be widely used for sterilization, a sterilizing liquid including water containing reactive oxygen species and a nanoparticle catalyst in a stationary state is produced by causing cavitation in water having a conductivity of 2000 μS/cm or less and COD of 2000 ppm or less while causing the water to flow by a stirrer 2, and causing generation of plasma by a plasma generation mechanism 3 in which a pulse voltage is applied across electrodes 31 in the water including air bubbles mainly containing water vapor generated by the cavitation.

A composition including nano- or microspheres, and/or tubular nanostructures, each made of a plurality of aromatic dipeptides including end-capping modified aromatic dipeptides, non-modified aromatic dipeptides, or a combination thereof; and encapsulating an esterase or a functional fragment thereof; as well as methods of use. The plurality of aromatic dipeptides may include the end-capping modified aromatic dipeptides only.
