The Effect of Protozoa Indigenous to Lakewater and Wastewater on Decay of Fecal Indicator Bacteria and Coliphage [PDF]
Pathogens, 2023 Fecal indicator bacteria (FIB: Escherichia coli and enterococci) are used to assess recreational water quality. Viral indicators (i.e., somatic and F+ coliphage), could improve the prediction of viral pathogens in recreational waters, however, the impact

Evaluation and Comparison of the UV-LED Action Spectra for Photochemical Disinfection of Coliphages and Human Pathogenic Viruses [PDF]
MicroorganismsUltraviolet (UV) disinfection is a powerful method for inactivating viruses. However, comparative wavelength-dependent sensitivities among human viruses and bacteriophages remain poorly characterized.

Coliphages as viral indicators of sanitary significance for drinking water [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Coliphages are virus that infect coliform bacteria and are used in aquatic systems for risk assessment for human enteric viruses. This mini-review appraises the types and sources of coliphage and their fate and behavior in source waters and engineered ...

Flow Virometry in Wastewater Monitoring: Comparison of Virus-like Particles to Coliphage, Pepper Mild Mottle Virus, CrAssphage, and Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus [PDF]
VirusesFlow virometry (FVM) offers a promising approach for monitoring viruses and virus-like particles (VLPs) in environmental samples. This study compares levels of non-specific VLPs across a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) with levels of somatic coliphage,

Atlas of Interactions Between Decoration Proteins and Major Capsid Proteins of Coliphage N4 [PDF]
VirusesColiphage N4 is a representative species of the Schitoviridae family of bacteriophages. Originally structurally studied in 2008, the capsid structure was solved to 14 Å to reveal an interesting arrangement of Ig-like decoration proteins across the ...

Sorbitol MacConkey agar and wastewaters` coliphages [PDF]
Journal of Applied Research in Water and Wastewater, 2023 A total of 114 samples collected from hospital wastewaters and rivers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia were tested for non-sorbitol fermenting bacteria and coliphages. Sorbitol MacConkey agar is mainly used in the detection of E. coli O157:H7.

Basics for Improved Use of Phages for Therapy
Antibiotics, 2021 Blood-borne therapeutic phages and phage capsids increasingly reach therapeutic targets as they acquire more persistence, i.e., become more resistant to non-targeted removal from blood.

Partial Characterization of Coliphage WPK and a Comparison with Coliphage T3 [PDF]
Microbiology and Immunology, 1992 AbstractColiphage WPK was originally isolated from sewage in Kiel, Germany, because its plaque diameter continued to expand for days. Electron microscopy revealed an isometric capsid with dimensions of 54 nm between opposite apices, and a short, noncontractile tail 16 nm long, placing phage WPK into morphogroup C1.
