(57) [Summary]nThe present invention relates to compositions and methods for reducing infection, morbidity, and mortality associated with a variety of pathogenic microorganisms and viruses. The invention also relates to methods and compositions for decontaminating areas where the pathogenic organism and virus have colonized or otherwise infected. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods and compositions for reducing the transmission of pathogenic organisms in food. In particular, the reduction in infection, morbidity, and mortality of pathogenic organisms is achieved by contacting the pathogenic organism with an oil-in-water nanoemulsion comprising an oil, an organic solvent, and a surfactant dispersed in an aqueous phase. can get. |
