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 ...

Coliphages of the human urinary microbiota. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2023
Due to its frequent association with urinary tract infections (UTIs), Escherichia coli is the best characterized constituent of the urinary microbiota (urobiome). However, uropathogenic E. coli is just one member of the urobiome. In addition to bacterial

Decay of infectious adenovirus and coliphages in freshwater habitats is differentially affected by ambient sunlight and the presence of indigenous protozoa communities

Virology Journal, 2020
Background Sanitary quality of recreational waters worldwide is assessed using fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), such as Escherichia coli and enterococci. However, fate and transport characteristics of FIB in aquatic habitats can differ from those of viral

Virulent coliphages in 1-year-old children fecal samples are fewer, but more infectious than temperate coliphages

Nature Communications, 2020
The impact of bacteriophages in the human gut microbiome remains poorly understood. Here, the authors characterize coliphages isolated from a large cohort of 1-year-old infants and show that temperate coliphages dominate, while virulent ones have greater

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]

Microorganisms
Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection is a powerful method for inactivating viruses. However, comparative wavelength-dependent sensitivities among human viruses and bacteriophages remain poorly characterized.

Diversity and Local Coadaptation of Escherichia coli and Coliphages From Small Ruminants

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Bacteriophages are highly specific predators that drive bacterial diversity through coevolution while striking tradeoffs among preserving host populations for long-term exploitation and increasing their virulence, structural stability, or host range ...

Control of Escherichia coli in Fresh-Cut Mixed Vegetables Using a Combination of Bacteriophage and Carvacrol [PDF]

Antibiotics, 2023
The continual emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the slow development of new antibiotics has driven the resurgent interest in the potential application of bacteriophages as antimicrobial agents in different medical and industrial sectors.

Capsid Integrity Detection of Enteric Viruses in Reclaimed Waters [PDF]

Viruses
Climate change, unpredictable weather patterns, and droughts are depleting water resources in some parts of the globe, where recycling and reusing wastewater is a strategy for different purposes. To counteract this, the EU regulation for water reuse sets

Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Phage Collection against Avian-Pathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
The increase in antibiotic-resistant avian-pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), the causative agent of colibacillosis in poultry, warrants urgent research and the development of alternative therapies.
