Antibiotics, 2023 Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses infecting bacteria. They are widely present in the environment, food, and normal microflora. The human microbiome is a mutually interdependent network of bacteria, bacteriophages, and human cells.

Coliphages as indicators of primary wastewater treatment efficiency by constructed wetlands
Journal of Water and Health, 2023 Constructed wetlands are an efficient and cost-effective system for the treatment of wastewater that can be reused for diverse purposes, including irrigation; however, few studies have determined the efficiency of microbial removal by constructed ...

Partial Characterization of Coliphage WPK and a Comparison with Coliphage T3 [PDF]
Microbiology and Immunology, 1992 AbstractColiphage WPK was originally isolated from sewage in Kiel, Germany, because its plaque diameter continued to expand for days. Electron microscopy revealed an isometric capsid with dimensions of 54 nm between opposite apices, and a short, noncontractile tail 16 nm long, placing phage WPK into morphogroup C1.

Sorbitol MacConkey agar and wastewaters` coliphages [PDF]
Journal of Applied Research in Water and Wastewater, 2023 A total of 114 samples collected from hospital wastewaters and rivers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia were tested for non-sorbitol fermenting bacteria and coliphages. Sorbitol MacConkey agar is mainly used in the detection of E. coli O157:H7.

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

Coliphages as Indicators of Fecal Contamination in Wastewater Treatment (SCA.Re.S. Project)
Medical Sciences Forum, 2021 Bacteriophages are fecal indicators of viral contamination, because they are more similar to human pathogenic viruses than the traditional fecal indicator bacteria, in terms of log-reduction during wastewater treatment and persistence in the aquatic ...

New approach for the simultaneous detection of somatic coliphages and F-specific RNA coliphages as indicators of fecal pollution [PDF]
, 2020 Enteric bacteriophages (somatic coliphages, F-specific coliphages or both together) are now recognized as useful viral indicators in water, shellfish, and biosolids and are being progressively included in national and international sanitary regulations ...

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

The Structure of Coliphages [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1963 SUMMARY: The detailed morphology of several new coliphages is compared with that of the more familiar types; the resulting information is considered for its taxonomic value. Some were examined at molecular level and new information on the tail structure of the ‘T even’ phages is described.

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 ...
