The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of chemical disinfection agents approved for use in the Russian Federation in relation to EBV-infected cell culture with quantitative DNA determination by polymerase chain reaction. Working solutions of complex disinfectants used for the treatment of medical devices were introduced into samples of EBV-infected B-cell culture in the concentration and exposure specified in the instructions (0.1 %; 60 min.). Then, the quantitative determination of the EBV DNA was performed. Chlorine-containing disinfectants, combined preparations based on aldehydes and guanidines per hour, as well as guanidines per hour and triamines, provided complete destruction of genetic material, while the combination of H with triamines led only to a decrease in the concentration of EBV DNA from 5.0 · 106 copies/ml to 2.4 · 106 copies/ml (by 2.1 times), which may not be enough to fully ensure biological safety when processing medical devices (sensors of ultrasound diagnostics devices, etc.), which are not subject to sterilization. The inability to determine the viability of EBV after treatment with disinfectants due to the initial presence of the virus in the B-cell culture makes the molecular biological method the only acceptable one at this stage and requires the search for new models – cell cultures intact to EBV or biological objects (laboratory animals).

The most pronounced sporicidal effect is observed when titanium alcohol sol is exposed to spores. At the same time, spores of B. anthracis STI-1 in titanium alcohol sol are affected by ethyl alcohol, which causes dehydration and denaturation of the protein, the antiseptic cetylpyridinium chloride as a surfactant, which is also a strong electrophilic agent that destroys the exosporium and spore shells, and titanium nanoparticles, which, due to the high surface energy when exposed to spores, cause their pronounced massive adhesion. In addition, titanium nanoparticles, the zeta (? -) value of the potential of which is -44.5 mV, cause a stable energy state of the dispersed system of alcohol sol, which acts as a biocatalyst for intracellular enzymes, causing the hydrolysis of polymer structures of the spore shells and cortex, as well as destroyed nucleoid – an area of spores containing structured genetic material. Spores that do not have a nucleoid in electron microscopy acquire the form of \"shadows\". As a result of the action of titanium alcohol sol, the activation of germination and the formation of the so-called \"metabolic\" spores, from which the vegetative cells of B. anthracis STI-1 should have been formed, are prevented. The reason for the high sporicidal efficiency of the alcohol sol of titanium nanoparticles is associated both with the structure and properties and with the technology of synthesis of titanium nanoparticles in the low-temperature plasma zone with the formation, due to the excess of the surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride, of a two-layer shell around the metal nanoparticles, which leads to their \"conservation\" until the moment of contact with spores and a sharp slowdown in their oxidation in the aquatic environment. The destruction of the formed two-layer shell of metal nanoparticles begins with contact with spores with the simultaneous onset of the formation of titanium ions from the phase of nanoparticles, which actively destroy chemically the shells of the spores.

In the period from 2017 to 2021, dynamic observations were made to assess the effectiveness of preventive disinfection measures carried out in the cynological town. The object of the study was the micro-and mycoflora of more than 20 dog enclosures in two versions: before disinfection and after mechanical treatment and fine-drip irrigation with preparations recommended for disinfection of veterinary surveillance facilities. Using differential diagnostic nutrient media, representatives of different groups of microorganisms were isolated from the surfaces of inventory, poilushki, the floor and walls of the walking enclosures. A qualitative analysis of biodiversity revealed that microbial isolates are conditionally pathogenic microorganisms and can be potentially dangerous infectious agents. The results showed that disinfection measures were not sufficiently effective against the selected groups of microorganisms. Using elective nutrient media, cultures of yeast-like and mold-like micromycetes were isolated from the surfaces of walking enclosures. The analysis of the data showed that both decompositions, claimed to be effective against mold micromycetes, do not withstand the contaminating load. The method of small-drop irrigation used for processing the walking of the kennels of the cynological town turned out to be low-effective in relation to the isolated microbial and fungal isolates. Within the framework of compliance with the sanitary and hygienic regime, an algorithm for organizing preventive disinfection measures in the cynological unit has been developed, based on the well-coordinated interaction of support services: medical, logistics, sanitary and veterinary. The research conducted jointly with representatives of the veterinary and sanitary service, with cadets of the cynological faculty, is of great practical importance for the formation of the professional competence of future officers – specialists-cynologists, heads of cynological units. The developed recommendations make it possible to adjust the algorithm of sanitary and hygienic measures in the cynological town and are of great importance in solving health-saving issues and maintaining the number of dogs of service breeds.
