evaluation of inhibitory effect of supernatant on the replication of herpes simplex virus type 1 and expression of and genes.

Background And Objectives: Human herpes virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a neurotropic pathogen that is infected more than 70% of the world population. The increasing of viral resistance to antiviral drugs and the emergence of side effects has motivated researchers to study the use of probiotics as new antiviral agents. The aim of the present study was to study for the first time the potential antiviral activity of supernatant against HSV-1.
