Abstract:
Layered phyllosilicates are useful for adsorbing and/or binding to and, thereby, inactivating viruses, bacteria and fungi. Accordingly, provided herein are methods of inactivating a virus, bacteria or fungus and methods of treating a viral, bacterial or fungal infection. Methods of delivering a therapeutic agent to a mammalian subject and methods of inactivating a virus in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal are also provided.
Abstract:
Discrete particles of a water-swellable bentonite clay effectively absorb animal dross and simultaneously agglomerate into a sufficiently large and stable mass, thereby permitting physical separation of the soiled and wetted water-swellable bentonite clay particles from discrete particles of the unsoiled and unwetted water-swellable bentonite clay. In another embodiment, the composition comprises discrete particles of a combination of water-swellable sodium bentonite clay and calcium bentonite clay that effectively absorbs animal dross and simultaneously agglomerates into a water-dispersible but physically stable mass, thereby permitting physical separation of the soiled and wetted bentonite clay particles from discrete particles of the unsoiled and unwetted water-swellable bentonite clay, and has sufficient water-dispersibility for disposal through a household plumbing or sewer conduit without clogging.

Abstract:
Layered phyllosilicates are useful for adsorbing and/or binding to and, thereby, inactivating viruses. The layered phyllosilicates can be sprayed into a person's nostrils or contained on a face mask to prevent infection; can be suspended in water for skin contact for virus inactivation; can form a portion of an HVAC filter to prevent virus transfer from room to room, e.g., in a hospital; and can be absorbed in a paper or fabric wipe for inactivating viruses on substrates, such as hospital and operating room furniture and surgical apparatus.

Abstract:
Layered phyllosilicates are useful for adsorbing and/or binding to and, thereby, inactivating viruses. Accordingly, provided herein is a method of inactivating a virus in the gastrointestinal tract of a mammalian subject comprising administering to said subject a composition comprising a layered phyllosilicate material in an amount effective for virus inactivation. Also provided are methods of treating a viral infection in the gastrointestinal tract of a mammalian subject. Methods of delivering a therapeutic agent to a mammalian subject and methods of inactivating a virus in waste expelled from a mammal are also provided.
