Abstract Background Phosphorothioated oligonucleotides PS-ONs have a sequence-independent broad spectrum antiviral activity as amphipathic polymers APs and exhibit potent in vitro antiviral activity against a broad spectrum of herpesviruses HSV-I HSV-2 HCMV VZV EBV and HHV-6A B and in vivo activity in a murine microbiocide model of genital HSV-2 infection. The activity of these agents against animal cytomegalovirus CMV infections in
