Distribution of Coliphages in Various Foods

open access: yesJournal of Food Protection, 1986
The distribution of coliphages in various foods and the relationship between the incidences of coliphages and bacterial indicators were investigated. A total of 120 food samples comprising twelve products and including fresh meats, shellfish, vegetables and processed meats, were analyzed for indigenous coliphages using Escherichia coli hosts C, C-3000 ...

Aptness of Escherichia coli host strain CB390 to detect total coliphages in Colombia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Fecal bacteria have been used for more than a century as indicators of fecal contamination in water. In recent years, the monitoring of somatic and F-specific coliphages has been gradually included in guidelines and regulations as an additional parameter

Comparison of methods for the enumeration of coliphages in 100 mL water samples [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
In the last decade coliphages have been included in many water quality regulations as viral faecal indicators. However, the standardised methods used to detect and quantify coliphages differ in bacterial host strains, culture media and techniques.

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.

Detection of Somatic and Male Specific Coliphages in Fecally Contaminated Shellfish and Harvest Waters [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Coliphages are rapidly (<12hrs) and easily detectable candidate indicators of human enteric viruses in seawater and shellfish. Furthermore male-specific (F+) RNA coliphages may be useful in differentiating human and animal fecal contamination by ...

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.

Recovery of somatic coliphages in shellfish

open access: yes, 1995
A phage recovery technique is described that is shown to be easy to perform and sensitive. It is efficient in detecting somatic coliphages in mussels artificially contaminated, even at very low levels.

Virtual Screening of Bacteriocins From Lactic Acid Bacteria Against Monkeypox DNA Polymerase: Sakacin P and Mundticin KS Emerge as Promising Candidates

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study employs an in silico virtual screening workflow to evaluate lactic acid bacteria (LAB)‐derived bacteriocins as potential inhibitors of the monkeypox virus DNA polymerase (MPDP). Protein‐peptide docking simulations using the HADDOCK platform revealed that Sakacin P and Mundticin KS possess the highest binding affinities for the MPDP target ...

Evaluation of the Ratio of Spot Tests and Plaque-Forming Activity Tests of Bacteriophages of Prevalent Pathogens

open access: yesЭпидемиология и вакцинопрофилактика
Relevance. Obtaining clean lysis spots, with tolerable presence of individual colonies of secondary growth, in spot tests is a criterion for assessing the effectiveness of therapeutic bacteriophages.

Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Phage Collection against Avian-Pathogenic Escherichia coli

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
The increase in antibiotic-resistant avian-pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), the causative agent of colibacillosis in poultry, warrants urgent research and the development of alternative therapies.
