Occurrence of coliphage in effluent: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis

Hygiene and Environmental Health Advances, 2022
Studies have illustrated that wastewater treatment methods targeting bacteria do not remove all types of viruses and available epidemiological studies indicate bacteria concentrations may not always be predictive of viral illnesses associated with ...

Structural basis of transcription arrest by coliphage HK022 Nun in an Escherichia coli RNA polymerase elongation complex

eLife, 2017
Coliphage HK022 Nun blocks superinfection by coliphage λ by stalling RNA polymerase (RNAP) translocation specifically on λ DNA. To provide a structural framework to understand how Nun blocks RNAP translocation, we determined structures of Escherichia ...

Uniqueness of RNA Coliphage Qβ Display System in Directed Evolutionary Biotechnology

Viruses, 2021
Phage display technology involves the surface genetic engineering of phages to expose desirable proteins or peptides whose gene sequences are packaged within phage genomes, thereby rendering direct linkage between genotype with phenotype feasible.

Impact of flocculated and softened particles on UV254 inactivation of indigenous spores

AWWA Water Science, Volume 6, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract US regulatory ultraviolet (UV) disinfection credit is typically granted when turbidity is ≤1 NTU. However, studies show turbidity does not always correlate well with UV dose responses. This study examined the impact of worst‐case high turbidity scenarios at drinking water treatment plants on UV254 inactivation of indigenous spores from ...

Oral Phage Therapy of Acute Bacterial Diarrhea With Two Coliphage Preparations: A Randomized Trial in Children From Bangladesh

EBioMedicine, 2016
Background: Antibiotic resistance is rising in important bacterial pathogens. Phage therapy (PT), the use of bacterial viruses infecting the pathogen in a species-specific way, is a potential alternative.

Virological and bacteriological quality of drinking water in Ethiopia

Applied Water Science, 2018
Since unsafe water is responsible for many illness, deaths, and economic failure, water quality monitoring is essential. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 218 drinking waters samples collected between February and June 2016 to assess water quality

Tracking epidemic viruses in wastewaters

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2024.
Wastewater‐based epidemiology has emerged as a highly powerful, innovative, flexible, cost‐effective, and scalable tool for pathogen surveillance, which has been successfully used for monitoring various diseases. Abstract Classical epidemiology relies on incidence, mortality rates, and clinical data from individual testing, which can be challenging for
