Assessment of Potential Efficacy of Coliphage Therapy on Multidrug Resistant Clinical Isolates of Escherichia coli

open access: yesUMYU Journal of Microbiology Research, 2020
Coliphages are the bacteriophages that attack and lyse Escherichia coli, a bacterium emerging as multidrug-resistant, thereby posing a serious public health challenge.

Occurrence and Accumulation of Human Enteric Viruses and Phages in Process Water from the Fresh Produce Industry

open access: yesFoods, 2021
The virological quality of process water (PW) used by the produce industry has received limited attention. As a first step to overcoming technical limitations in monitoring viruses in PW, the analytical performance of ultrafiltration was assessed to ...

The Structure of Coliphages [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

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.

Coliphages and Gastrointestinal Illness in Recreational Waters

open access: yesEpidemiology, 2017
Background: Coliphages have been proposed as indicators of fecal contamination in recreational waters because they better mimic the persistence of pathogenic viruses in the environment and wastewater treatment than fecal indicator bacteria.

Biological Weighting Functions for Evaluating the Role of Sunlight-Induced Inactivation of Coliphages at Selected Beaches and Nearby Tributaries.

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Technology, 2018
Coliphages can indicate contamination of recreational waters and previous studies show that sunlight is important in altering densities of coliphages, other indicator microorganisms, and pathogens in aquatic environments.

Sewage coliphages studied by electron microscopy [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1983
Sewage was enriched with 35 Escherichia coli strains, and sediments of enrichment cultures were studied in the electron microscope. They contained up to 10 varieties of morphologically different particles. T-even-type phages predominated in 14 samples.

Coliphages as Model Organisms in the Characterization and Management of Water Resources

open access: yes, 2016
Two groups of bacteriophages that infect Escherichia coli, somatic and F-specific coliphages, have been used in academia as both fecal and viral indicators for many years.

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.
