Evaluation of Different Methods for Detecting Male Specific Coliphages from Marine Water at Doheny Beach, CA [PDF]

, 2009
Male-specific (F+) coliphages, primarily F+ RNA coliphages, have been proposed as candidate indicators of enteric viruses in water. The purpose of the this study was to evaluate the use of F+ coliphages as viral indicators of fecal contamination in ...

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.

Isolation and virion morphology classification of coliphages from local foods

, 2013
Bacteriophages are viruses that exclusively target and reproduce within bacteria. Bacteriophages that infect Escherichia coli (E. coli) are known as coliphages.

Inactivation of coliphage Qβ by potassium ferrate [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1994
The kinetics of inactivation of a bacteriophage by potassium ferrate were studied with the F-specific RNA-coliphage Q beta. Inactivation in phosphate buffer (pH 6, 7 and 8) containing ferrate could be described by Hom's model. The inactivation rate depended on the pH.

The Effect of UV and Combined Chlorine/UV Treatment on Coliphages in Drinking Water Disinfection

, 2016
Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is a common way to disinfect drinking water, but some viruses are very resistant to UV. Drinking water was disinfected with UV after spiking with MS2 and 18 different coliphages isolated from municipal wastewater effluent. In

Detection of Enteric Viruses in a Pilot System for Municipal Wastewater Treatment

Kasmera, 2014
A pilot system for treating municipal waste was evaluated to verify its ability to remove viral pathogens. The presence of Adeno vi rus, Calicivirus, Enterovirus and Hepatitis A and E was determined using RT-PCR.

Removal of indigenous coliphages and fecal coliforms by a novel sewage treatment system consisting of UASB and DHS units

, 2002
A novel sewage treatment system, which consists of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) pre-treatment unit and the following downflow hanging sponge (DHS) unit for polishing up the UASB effluent, was developed as a cost-effective and easy ...

Methodological Improvements for the Recovery of B. fragilis Phages and Coliphages from Environmental Samples

, 1993
The effect of different treatments and methods of titration on the recovery of phages infecting Bacteroides fragilis as well as for both somatic and male specific coliphages in environmental samples were evaluated.

Occurrence and correlations between coliphages and anthropogenic viruses in the Massachusetts Bay using enrichment and ICC-nPCR

, 2005
We evaluated a two-step enrichment procedure to detect coliphages and an integrated cell culture-nested polymerase chain reaction (ICC-nPCR) to detect human astrovirus, enteroviruses, rotavirus and adenovirus type 40 and 41 in marine water samples ...

Detection of somatic coliphages as indicators of faecal contamination in estuarine waters Detección de colifagos somáticos como indicadores de contaminación fecal en aguas estuarinas

Revista Argentina de Microbiología, 2008
The appearance of enteric disease outbreaks associated with the use of waters considered bacteriologically suitable, calls for the search of new and more precise indicators. Samples of estuarine water were collected in order to quantify E.
