Comparison of bacterial suppression by phage cocktails, dual‐receptor generalists, and coevolutionarily trained phages

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 152-162, January 2023., 2023
Abstract The evolution and spread of antibiotic‐resistant bacteria have renewed interest in phage therapy, the use of bacterial viruses (phages) to combat bacterial infections. The delivery of phages in cocktails where constituent phages target different modalities (e.g., receptors) may improve treatment outcomes by making it more difficult for ...

Study of the potential relationship between the morphology of infectious somatic coliphages and their persistence in the environment [PDF]

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 1999
The proportions of different morphological types of infectious somatic coliphages were determined in faecally polluted freshwaters. Myoviridae, followed by Siphoviridae, were the most frequently isolated morphological types in raw sewage, treated sewage and river water collected a few metres downstream from a sewage outfall.

Surface Plasmon Resonance Assay for Real-Time Monitoring of Somatic Coliphages in Wastewaters [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008
ABSTRACT The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique is a well-established method for the measurement of molecules binding to surfaces and the quantification of binding constants between surface-immobilized proteins and proteins in solution.

The contribution of induction of temperate phages to the numbers of free somatic coliphages in waters is not significant [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2007
Somatic coliphages have been proposed as indicators of water quality. But several factors have been considered a drawback for their use as indicators. We evaluated the contribution of temperate phages to the numbers of somatic coliphages detected in water by ISO (International Standards Organization) standardised methods.

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

Pathogens, 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.

Is the replication of somatic coliphages in water environments significant? [PDF]

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2009
Somatic coliphages are amid several groups of bacteriophages that have been suggested as indicators in water quality assessment. One of the limitations frequently endorsed to somatic coliphages as indicators is that they can replicate in the water environment. This review intends to evaluate the significance of this potential replication.

Concentration and quantification of somatic and F+ coliphages from recreational waters

Journal of Virological Methods, 2017
Somatic and F+ coliphages are promising alternative fecal indicators, but current detection methods are hindered by lower levels of coliphages in surface waters compared to traditional bacterial fecal indicators. We evaluated the ability of dead-end hollow fiber ultrafiltration (D- HFUF) and single agar layer (SAL) procedure to concentrate and ...

Somatic coliphages and bacterial indicators of bathing water quality in the beaches of Gipuzkoa, Spain [PDF]

Journal of Water and Health, 2007
Monitoring the quality of the bathing waters of Gipuzkoa (the Basque Country, Spain) makes it possible to assess the suitability of its 15 beaches for bathing throughout each season. In 1998, the parameters E. coli, somatic coliphages (SOMCPH) and F-specific RNA bacteriophages (FRNAPH) were incorporated into the bathing water quality monitoring system.

Behaviour of Somatic and F-specific Coliphages in Slow Sand Filter

Journal of Water and Environment Technology, 2012
Behaviour of somatic and F-specific coliphages, as model viruses, in a full-scale slow sand filtration (SSF) treatment plant of Japan was investigated through enumeration with the conventional plaque-forming unit (PFU) and the real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RRT-PCR).

Assessment of occurrence of somatic coliphages in drinking water in Poland

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine
The use of Escherichia coli and enterococci as indicators of the presence of pathogenic viruses or parasitic protozoa is limited. In order to increase the control of enteric pathogens in drinking water, Directive (EU) 2020/2184 of the European Parliament and of the Council incorporates into microbiological analysis the determination of somatic ...
