A zwitterionic resin is manufactured by a manufacturing method which includes the following steps. A first thermal process is performed on a first crosslinking agent and a choline having hydroxyl group or amino group to form a first mixture, in which the first crosslinking agent includes an isocyanate group. A second thermal process is performed on the first mixture, a second crosslinking agent, a chain extender, and an amino acid to form the zwitterionic resin, in which the chain extender includes a polyol.

The filter medium is a filter medium which uses a liquid containing oil and water as a separation target, and has a channel for the liquid. The filter medium includes a base constituting the channel, and one or more of nitrogen-containing fluorine compounds which are provided on at least a portion of a surface of the channel. The nitrogen-containing fluorine compound includes an oil-repellency imparting group and any one hydrophilicity imparting group selected from a group consisting of an anion type, a cation type, and an amphoteric type, in a molecule.

A launderable bactericidal and virucidal fabric finish formulation. The first component is a bactericidal and virucidal agent represented by formula (I):

##STR00001## wherein n is 7; R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 are jointly or independently selected from H or one of the following groups:

##STR00002## wherein R.sub.4 is selected from CH.sub.3 or H; m is an integer from 2 to 10; p is an integer from 9 to 15; q is an integer from 2 to 10. A second component includes one or more crosslinkers and/or one or more catalysts. A third component includes one or more transition metal salts.

A fiber-treating agent, where the fiber-treating agent is a one part fiber-treating agent including a single composition or a multiple-part fiber-treating agent including a plurality of compositions. The fiber-treating agent contains the following components (A) to (C) in a total composition thereof, and where, for the one-part fiber-treating agent, a part or all of the components (A) and (B) is optionally a condensate formed from the components: (A): a compound having a structure wherein a methylol group is bonded to each of two nitrogen atoms in the compound, (B): a phenolic compound having an electron donating group on at least one of meta-positions and a hydrogen atom on at least one of ortho-positions and a para-position, wherein the electron donating group on the meta-position optionally forms, together with adjacent carbon atoms, a benzene ring optionally substituted with a hydroxy group, and (C): water.
