Journal of the Georgia Public Health Association, 2017 Background: Gastrointestinal disease affects millions of people in the United States and places a substantial economic burden upon healthcare systems. Recreational waters polluted with fecal material are a main source for transmission of gastrointestinal

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2017 Escherichia coli is considered one of the most frequent causative agents of common bacterial infections worldwide. In addition, effective treatment and prevention measures are still in demand due to the rise of antibiotic resistance and the emergence of

Localization of Coliphage MS2 A-Protein [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1974 The purification of coliphage MS2 dinitrophenol (DNP) conjugates provided a system for localization of the single molecule of A-protein in the capsid of the MS2 phage particle. Three A-protein preparations isolated from unconjugated MS2, overconjugated DNP-MS2, and purified 78 S DNP-MS2 were tested for the presence ...

Effects of abiotic factors on the stability and infectivity of polyvalent coliphage
Water Science and Technology, 2022 Bacteriophage has attracted growing interest as a promising therapeutic agent for pathogenic bacteria, especially for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, the various abiotic conditions could impact the stability of phages and further threat host ...

Coliphages as indicators of enteroviruses [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1984 Coliphages were monitored in conjunction with indicator bacteria and enteroviruses in a drinking-water plant modified to reduce trihalomethane production. Coliphages could be detected in the source water by direct inoculation, and sufficient coliphages were detected in enterovirus concentrates to permit following the coliphage levels through different ...

Morphological Variants of Coliphage P1 [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1970 Lysates of P1 from all hosts tested contained at least three morphological variants with respect to head size. These were termed “big” (P1B), “small” (P1S), and “minute” (P1M). Since successive clonings of plaques isolated on many different hosts failed to change the proportions of the variants, we concluded that the production of variants

Methodology for enumeration of coliphages in foods [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1986 The effects of eluent composition, pH, and chaotropic agents on the recovery of T2, MS2, and indigenous coliphages from various foods were investigated. Additionally, methods of sample suspension and clarification were evaluated for coliphage recovery and application to various foods.
