Evaluation of New Components in Modified Scholten’s Medium for the Detection of Somatic Coliphages

Food and Environmental Virology, 2020
Enteric bacteriophages (somatic coliphages, F-specific coliphages or both together) are now recognized as useful viral indicators in water, shellfish, and biosolids and are being progressively included in national and international sanitary regulations.

Factors influencing the replication of somatic coliphages in the water environment

Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek, 2004
The potential replication of somatic coliphages in the environment has been considered a drawback for their use as viral indicators, although the extent to which this affects their numbers in environmental samples has not been assessed. In this study, the replication of somatic coliphages in various conditions was assayed using suspensions containing ...

Detection of Somatic and Male-Specific Coliphages in Fecally Contaminated Surface Waters

open access: yes, 1996
Somatic and male-specific (F+) coliphages are promising indicators of fecal contamination and human enteric viruses in water. There are various methods for the detection and assay of these coliphages, but they have not been adequately evaluated in comparative studies.

Bluephage: A rapid method for the detection of somatic coliphages used as indicators of fecal pollution in water

Water Research, 2018
The use of somatic coliphages as indicators of fecal and viral pollution in water and food has great potential due to the reliability, reproducibility, speed and cost effectiveness of methods for their detection. Indeed, several countries already use this approach in their water management policies. Although standardized protocols for somatic coliphage

Removal of fecal coliforms, somatic coliphages and F-specific bacteriophages in a stabilization pond and reservoir system in arid regions

open access: yesWater Science and Technology: Water Supply, 2003
The contents of FC, somatic coliphages and F-specific bacteriophages were measured in the stabilization pond and stabilization reservoir system of the City of Arad (Israel) in order to determine the efficiency of the treatment process regarding the ...

Somatic coliphage families as potential indicators of enteric viruses in water and methods for their detection

open access: yes, 2009
The potential use of specific somatic coliphage taxonomic groups as viral indicators on the basis of their persistence and prevalence in water was investigated. Representative type strains of the 4 major somatic coliphage taxonomic groups were seeded into environmental water and their survival was measured at temperatures of 23-25 and 4oC.

Bacterial host strains that support replication of somatic coliphages

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2003
Somatic coliphages detected by Escherichia coli strain WG5 have been proposed as potential indicators of water quality. Their potential replication in the water environment is considered a drawback for their use as indicators. However, the contribution of replication outside the gut to the total numbers has never been quantified.

Survival of infectious Poliovirus-1 in river water compared to the persistence of somatic coliphages, thermotolerant coliforms and Poliovirus-1 genome

open access: yesWater Research, 2004
International audienceThe microbiological quality of water is currently assessed by search for fecal bacteria indicators. There is, however, a body of knowledge demonstrating that bacterial indicators are less resistant to environmental factors than ...
