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.

Airborne coliphages from wastewater treatment facilities [PDF]
The emission (from wastewater treatment plants) of airborne coliphages that form plaques on two strains of Escherichia coli was investigated. Two activated-sludge and two trickling-filter plants were studied. Field sampling procedures used large-volume air samplers with recirculation devices.

Development of new host-specific Bacteroides qPCRs for the identification of fecal contamination sources in water [PDF]
Bacteroides spp. have been proposed as indicators of fecal contamination in microbial source tracking (MST) methodologies. The aim of this study was to develop new qPCR assays that target host-specific Bacteroidal 16S ribosomal RNA genes, to determine ...

Coliphages as indicators of enteroviruses [PDF]
Coliphages were monitored in conjunction with indicator bacteria and enteroviruses in a drinking-water plant modified to reduce trihalomethane production. Coliphages could be detected in the source water by direct inoculation, and sufficient coliphages were detected in enterovirus concentrates to permit following the coliphage levels through different ...

Faecal bacteria and coliphages in run-off from dairy farms [PDF]
Although the indicator numbers were mainly quite low, there was a severe risk of transfer of pathogens to the environment, especially when household wastewater or surface run-off water from outdoor yards was poorly purified and allowed to flow into ...

Biodiversity of bacteriophages: morphological and biological properties of a large group of phages isolated from urban sewage [PDF]
A large scale analysis presented in this article focuses on biological and physiological variety of bacteriophages. A collection of 83 bacteriophages, isolated from urban sewage and able to propagate in cells of different bacterial hosts, has been ...

Coliphage HK243: Biological and Physicochemical Characteristics [PDF]
AbstractColiphage HK243 can form plaques on Escherichia coli C and K‐12, but not B. The plaques are 1–2 mm in diameter and are opaque areas which clear upon exposure to chloroform vapor. During one‐step growth, the eclipse and the latent periods are 20 and 30 min, respectively. Phage‐infected cells continue to produce cell‐free plaque‐forming units for

Survival of Fecal Contamination Indicator Organisms in Soil [PDF]
Soils amended with human or animal waste may result in pathogen contamination of ground and surface water. Because temperature has been shown to affect pathogen survival, two laboratory studies were conducted to evaluate the impact of extremes in ...
