The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is known as a major cause of respiratory infections and nosocomial diseases. Testing this virus is rather difficult due to the problems encountered in producing it at a high titer without using any purification method. A RSV isolate which replicates to high level on a Hep-2 cell line with an infectious titer of at least 10(7) TCID50 mL(-1) in culture supernatant fluids has been identified. Thanks to this isolate, the virucidal effects of two products, a hand rub solution and a surface disinfectant, were conveniently tested according to the EN 14476:2007-02 procedure.
