Journal ArticleDOI
Viral Pollution in the Environment and in Shellfish: Human Adenovirus Detection by PCR as an Index of Human Viruses
TL;DR: The results suggest that the detection of adenoviruses by PCR could be used as an index of the presence of human viruses in the environment where a molecular index is acceptable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of adenoviruses and enteroviruses in polluted waters by nested PCR amplification.
TL;DR: The PCR-based detection of enteroviruses and adenovirus shows good results as an indicator of possible viral contamination in environmental wastewater and showed a much higher number of positive isolates by nested PCR than by tissue culture analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteriophages active against Bacteroides fragilis in sewage-polluted waters.
C. Tartera,Joan Jofre +1 more
TL;DR: Using Bacteroides fragilis HSP 40 as the host, which proved to be the most efficient for the detection of phages, feces from humans and several animal species and raw sewage, river water, water from lagoons, seawater, groundwater, and sediments, there was a high degree of strain specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated analysis of established and novel microbial and chemical methods for microbial source tracking.

TL;DR: Several statistical or machine learning methods were evaluated and provided two successful predictive models based on just two variables, giving 100% correct classification: the ratio of the densities of somatic coliphages and phages infecting Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron to the density of somatics coliphage and the ratio
Journal ArticleDOI
Human origin of Bacteroides fragilis bacteriophages present in the environment.
TL;DR: It is shown that Bacteroides phages are only able to multiply under anaerobic conditions in the presence of nutrients, and they cannot multiply in natural waters and sediments.
