An object of the present invention is to provide a highly safe antiviral agent that exhibits an inactivating effect on a non-envelope type virus and that can be applied to fingers and taken orally. A fermented extract peptide of Bacillus subtilis and another cationic polymer are combined to form an active ingredient of an antiviral agent. The Bacillus subtilis fermented extract peptide is preferably a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or a derivative thereof. Other cationic polymers are preferably polylysine, protamine, chitosan and the like. [Selection figure] None |
