Abstract

The current study examined at the in vitro inhibitory effects of fermented kombucha tea on hepatitis A virus, rift valley fever virus, and herpes simplex type 1. Our findings indicated variable degrees of antiviral activity against three viruses with different levels of selective indices (SI = 11.19, 4.95, and 2.03, respectively). During the virucidal phase, Kombucha tea was effective against hepatitis A virus and Rift Valley fever virus, but had no impact on herpes simplex virus type-1, according to the mechanism of action assay.
