Coliphages as Indicators of Fecal Contamination in Wastewater Treatment (SCA.Re.S. Project)
Medical Sciences Forum, 2021 Bacteriophages are fecal indicators of viral contamination, because they are more similar to human pathogenic viruses than the traditional fecal indicator bacteria, in terms of log-reduction during wastewater treatment and persistence in the aquatic ...

Use of Somatic Coliphages in Biosensoring of Hygiene Safety of Recycled Wastewater
Chemické listy, 2023 Outflows from secondary stages of conventional mechanical-biological wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) still contain significant concentrations of faecal pollution indicators suggesting the potential presence of pathogenic organisms. The decrease in the concentration of somatic coliphages and bacterial indicators of faecal pollution during the ...

Water and Environment Journal, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 633-643, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Applications of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in water and wastewater treatment have been the subject of growing interest throughout the last decade. Although UV/hydrogen peroxide (UV‐H2O2) is the most established technology among the UV‐AOPs, UV‐chlorine (UV‐Cl) is emerging as a reliable and potentially more cost‐effective alternative ...

Incidence of somatic and F+ coliphage in Great Lake Basin recreational waters [PDF]
Water Research, 2018 There is a growing interest for the use of coliphage as an alternative indicator to assess fecal pollution in recreational waters. Coliphage are a group of viruses that infect Escherichia coli and are considered as potential surrogates to infer the likely presence of enteric viral pathogens.

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023 Abstract The contamination of water used in post‐harvest handling and processing operations of fresh and frozen fruit, vegetables and herbs (ffFVHs) is a global concern. The most relevant microbial hazards associated with this water are: Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., human pathogenic Escherichia coli and enteric viruses, which have been ...

Bacteriophages Are Good Estimators of Human Viruses Present in Water
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The detection of fecal viral pathogens in water is hampered by their great variety and complex analysis. As traditional bacterial indicators are poor viral indicators, there is a need for alternative methods, such as the use of somatic coliphages, which ...
