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

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 ...

Diverse Temperate Coliphages of the Urinary Tract [PDF]
VirusesWhile Escherichia coli can be found in the bladders of females without lower urinary tract symptoms, its presence is often associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs). The genomic plasticity of E. coli, including urogenital strains, is largely shaped

Evaluation and Comparison of the UV-LED Action Spectra for Photochemical Disinfection of Coliphages and Human Pathogenic Viruses [PDF]
MicroorganismsUltraviolet (UV) disinfection is a powerful method for inactivating viruses. However, comparative wavelength-dependent sensitivities among human viruses and bacteriophages remain poorly characterized.

Coliphages as fecal pollution and removal bacterial indicators in the drinking water process
Revista Peruana de Biología, 2013 This work compare the efficiency of water treatment from Rimac river. Samples from different phases of water treatment (decanted, filtered and chlorinated) were compared with not treated samples.

Adsorption of Coliphages to Particulates
Water Science and Technology, 1986 Adsorption characteristics of coliphages (host cell: E. coli B) to particulates (kaolin, sand, soil, microbial particulates in an oxidation pond) were investigated using batch experiments under various conditions of pH, concentrations of cations and concentrations of dissolved oxygen.

Comparison between the Biofilm Desorption Abilities of T4 and MS2 Coliphages
Applied Sciences, 2022 Biofilms are a collection of microorganisms that adhere to a surface where they continue to grow. Firmly established biofilms can be hazardous to human health.

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

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

A prophage-encoded sRNA limits phage infection of adherent-invasive E. coli. [PDF]
PLoS PathogensProphages are prevalent features of bacterial genomes that can reduce susceptibility to infection by competing phages, yet the mechanisms involved are often elusive.
