Abstract: | Emerging water quality guidelines and regulations require the absence of somatic coliphages in 100 mL of water, yet the efficiency of standardized methods to test this volume of sample is questionable. A recently described procedure, Bluephage, using a modified E. coli host strain, overcomes some of the methodological limitations of standardized methods. In a maximum of 6.5 hours (2.5 hours for pre-growing the host strain and 4 hours for the presence/absence test), Bluephage allows the direct detection of one plaque-forming unit (PFU) in a 100 mL water sample. The test shows high levels of specificity for somatic coliphages and comparable accuracy with standardized methods. |
