Isolation and characterization of coliphages from different water sources and their biocontrol application combined with electron beam irradiation for elimination of E. coli in domestic wastewater

Annals of Microbiology
Background Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including Escherichia coli (E. coli), are high-risk waterborne pathogens that pose a vital threat to the general public’s health.

Molecular Typing of Somatic Coliphage Groups and Their Occurrence and Survival in Sewage

Applied Microbiology
A conventional, group-specific PCR method was developed to identify each of the four previously defined major taxa (Myoviridae, Siphoviridae, Podoviridae and Microviridae) of somatic coliphages and used to classify isolates from sewage. Somatic coliphage

Sewage coliphages studied by electron microscopy [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1983
Sewage was enriched with 35 Escherichia coli strains, and sediments of enrichment cultures were studied in the electron microscope. They contained up to 10 varieties of morphologically different particles. T-even-type phages predominated in 14 samples.

ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF COLIPHAGE FROM UNTREATED WASTEWATER IN KUALA PILAH NEGERI SEMBILAN

Journal of Academia
Bacteriophages are viruses that can only infect bacterial cells and are perceptible in almost all places where living bacteria are found, as they are highly host specific.

Experimental selection reveals a trade-off between fecundity and lifespan in the coliphage Qß [PDF]

Open Biology, 2013
Understanding virus evolution is key for improving ways to counteract virus-borne diseases. Results from comparative analyses have previously suggested a trade-off between fecundity and lifespan for viruses that infect the bacterium Escherichia coli (i.e.

Distribution of ribonucleic acid coliphages in animals [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1981
To determine the distribution pattern of ribonucleic acid (RNA) coliphages (classified by serological groups I through IV) in animal sources, we isolated RNA phages from (i) feces samples from domestic animals (cows, pigs, horses, and fowls), some other animals in a zoological garden, and humans, (ii) the gastrointestinal contents of cows and pigs, and

Endemic bacteriophages: a cautionary tale for evaluation of bacteriophage therapy and other interventions for infection control in animals

Virology Journal, 2012
Background One of the most effective targets for control of zoonotic foodborne pathogens in the farm to fork continuum is their elimination in food animals destined for market.

Microbial reductions and physical characterization of chitosan flocs when using chitosan acetate as a cloth filter aid in water treatment.

PLoS ONE, 2022
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 2.1 billion people lack access to safely managed water. Cloth filtration is often employed in rural and developing communities of South Asia for point-of-use water treatment, but bacteria and viruses are too ...

The genome and proteome of a virulent Escherichia coli O157:H7 bacteriophage closely resembling Salmonella phage Felix O1

Virology Journal, 2009
Based upon whole genome and proteome analysis, Escherichia coli O157:H7-specific bacteriophage (phage) wV8 belongs to the new myoviral genus, "the Felix O1-like viruses" along with Salmonella phage Felix O1 and Erwinia amylovora phage φEa21-4. The genome

Biochemical Characterization of RNA Coliphage MX1

Journal of General Virology, 1983
In order to clarify the taxonomic status of an RNA coliphage, MX1 (a serological intermediate between groups III and IV), we examined (i) read-through protein synthesis in a cell-free protein-synthesizing system, (ii) the peptide map of the coat protein and (iii) the RNA sequence in the 3'-terminal region of MX1 RNA.
