Bacteriophages as Fecal Pollution Indicators

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Bacteriophages are promising tools for the detection of fecal pollution in different environments, and particularly for viral pathogen risk assessment.

The genome and proteome of coliphage T1

open access: yesVirology, 2004
The genome of enterobacterial phage T1 has been sequenced, revealing that its 50.7-kb terminally redundant, circularly permuted sequence contains 48,836 bp of nonredundant nucleotides. Seventy-seven open reading frames (ORFs) were identified, with a high percentage of small genes located at the termini of the genomes displaying no homology to existing ...

Enumeration of Somatic and F-RNA Phages as an Indicator of Fecal Contamination in Potable Water from Rural Areas of the North West Province

open access: yesPathogens, 2015
Bacteriophages are regarded as enteric viral indicators in faecally contaminated water systems and may indicate the presence of human viral pollution. They are relatively resistant to inactivation by natural and treatment processes.

Genome Sequence and Characterization of Coliphage vB_Eco_SLUR29 [PDF]

open access: yesPHAGE, 2019
AbstractBacteriophage that infect Escherichia coli are relatively easily isolated, with greater than 600 coliphage genomes sequenced to date. Despite this there is still much to be discovered about the diversity of coliphage genomes. Within this study we isolated a coliphage from cattle slurry collected from a farm in rural England.

Antimicrobial Resistance in Escherichia coli and Resistance Genes in Coliphages from a Small Animal Clinic and in a Patient Dog with Chronic Urinary Tract Infection

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2020
Antimicrobial resistance is on the rise in certain pathogens that infect pets and their owners. This has raised concerns about the use of antibiotics and the transfer of resistance elements in small animal clinics.

Report of the Scientific Committee of the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) on the effects of climate change on the risk of transmission of foodborne pathogens

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 3, July 2025.
Abstract The Scientific Committee of the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) has carried out an updated review of the scientific evidence on the influence of climate change on the transmission of foodborne pathogens. This global phenomenon represents an emerging threat to food safety and public health, since alterations in weather ...

In Vitro and In Vivo Assessment of the Potential of Escherichia coli Phages to Treat Infections and Survive Gastric Conditions

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Shigella ssp. infections are associated with high rates of mortality, especially in infants in developing countries.

Polyvalent Coliphages in Sewage

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 1991
High concentrations of coliphages were isolated during December and March when the maximum average daytime temperature reaches 20°C. Eight coliphages capable of infecting various strains of E. coli and a few selected members of Enterobacteriaceae were isolated.

Reverse genetics in the Arabidopsis chloroplast genome identifies rps16 as a transcribed pseudogene

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 122, Issue 3, May 2025.
SUMMARY The plastid (chloroplast) genomes of seed plants contain a conserved set of ribosomal protein genes. The rps16 gene represents an exception: It has been lost from the plastid genomes of gymnosperms and several lineages of angiosperms, and may have undergone pseudogenization in a few other lineages, including members of the Brassicaceae family ...

Comparative study of enteric viruses, coliphages and indicator bacteria for evaluating water quality in a tropical high-altitude system

open access: yesEnvironmental Health, 2009
Background Bacteria used as indicators for pathogenic microorganisms in water are not considered adequate as enteric virus indicators. Surface water from a tropical high-altitude system located in Mexico City that receives rainwater, treated and non ...
