Enumeration of somatic coliphages1
  • This video presents a method for the detection and enumeration of somatic coliphages by incubating the sample with an appropiate host strain. (ub.edu)
Bacteriophages3
Indicators11
  • Indeed, indicators of microbial water quality can be the pathogenic organisms themselves, other microorganisms, or other physical or chemical aspects of the aquatic environment (see Chapter 4 for further information), and any biological indicator is subject to evolutionary and ecological changes. (nationalacademies.org)
  • It was not until the late 1970s and early 1980s that some very scattered papers were published that could be called pioneering in using coliphages as viral indicators. (bluephage.com)
  • Though not supported by sound pieces of evidence, the idea that coliphages multiply in water and therefore cannot be used as indicators emerged and began to be widely accepted. (bluephage.com)
  • Meanwhile, data continue to accumulate to ensure the suitability of coliphages as indicators of viral contamination: 1) their abundance in different local and geographic environments, and 2) their behavior against disinfection and natural inactivation. (bluephage.com)
  • This led to the acceptance of somatic coliphages as indicators of fecal/viral contamination of waters. (bluephage.com)
  • The results confirmed the role of coliphages as indicators of viral contamination. (sciforum.net)
  • Viral indicators (i.e., somatic and F+ coliphage), could improve the prediction of viral pathogens in recreational waters, however, the impact of environmental factors, including the effect of predatory protozoa source, on their survival in water is poorly understood. (bvsalud.org)
  • FIB decay was generally greater than the coliphages and was more rapid when indicators were exposed to lake vs. wastewater protozoa. (bvsalud.org)
  • Sunlight generally accelerated decay, and shade reduced somatic coliphage decay to the lowest level among all the indicators. (bvsalud.org)
  • Furthermore, the use of bacterial indicators has been extended to U.S. "ambient" waters in recent decades-especially freshwater and marine-estuarine waters used for recreation. (nationalacademies.org)
  • Furthermore, recent and forecasted advances in microbiology, biology, and analytical chemistry make it timely to assess the current paradigm of relying predominantly or exclusively on traditional bacterial indicators for waterborne pathogens in order to make judgments concerning the microbiological quality of water to be used for recreation or as a source for drinking water supply. (nationalacademies.org)
Contamination7
  • Samples were evaluated for levels of fecal contamination by using fecal coliforms and somatic coliphages. (cdc.gov)
  • Irrigation water is frequently tested for Escherichia coli due to risks of contamination of fresh produce. (vinlab.com)
  • Effluent water, for instance, is tested monthly while well water, provided no contamination has been detected, is only tested once a year for coliform bacteria. (vinlab.com)
  • Naturally any water source with known microbiological contamination should undergo more frequent testing until a water treatment program has been successfully implemented. (vinlab.com)
  • The data were statistically analyzed to determine how land use, season, and precipitation affect the risk of contamination to surface waters. (ndltd.org)
  • These bacterial indicator microorganisms (particularly "coliforms," described later) are typically used to detect the possible presence of microbial contamination of drinking water by human waste. (nationalacademies.org)
  • Over the long history of their development and use, coliform test methods have been standardized, they are relatively easy and inexpensive to use, and enumeration of coliforms has proven to be a useful method for assessing sewage contamination of drinking water. (nationalacademies.org)

Detection4
  • This decade contemplates the general acceptance of E. coli C as an appropriate host strains for somatic coliphage detection. (bluephage.com)
  • The appearance of molecular techniques based on the amplification of nucleic acids, such as PCR , led experts to believe that they would allow the detection of all viruses in water matrices and would therefore be of great importance in water management. (bluephage.com)
  • The median values of coliphages were 590 PFU/100mL in treated wastewater, 1000 PFU/100mL in infiltration trench while all samples from monitoring well were under the detection limit. (sciforum.net)

Viral2
  • However, PCR, which has been extremely useful in providing a great deal of crucial information in water virology, does not distinguish between reliable and repetitive, and hence feasible, procedures infectious from non-infectious viral particles and is therefore not useful for monitoring virological water quality, nor for assessing the performance of water treatment processes or for quantitative microbial risk assessment.
