Use of enzymes and surfactants for inhibiting microorganisms

The present invention relates to the use of enzymes and surfactants in detergent compositions for inhibiting microorganisms. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of enzymes and surfactants in detergent compositions for antiviral activity. Despite detergent compositions known that the pH typically ranges from 8 to 13 impart decontamination benefits, they are not known to impart antimicrobial, in particular antibacterial and viral inactivation benefits. It is therefore an object of the present invention to achieve the inactivation of microorganisms, in particular viruses, from articles during laundry using a detergent composition having a pH of 8 to 13. We have now found the use of a combination of an alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant, a hydrolase and a source of base in a detergent composition having a pH of 8 to 13 for inactivating microorganisms on textiles. In particular for inactivation of bacteria and viruses. 本发明涉及酶和表面活性剂在洗涤剂组合物中用于抑制微生物的用途。本发明特别地涉及酶和表面活性剂在洗涤剂组合物中用于抗病毒活性的用途。尽管已知pH通常在8至1
