New waterborne bacteriophages active on Yersinia enterocolitica.

Seven bacteriophages active on Yersinia enterocolitica (YE) were isolated from surface water samples collected in Granada, Spain. A comparison of the respective host ranges of these new phages and of reference phages used for YE phage typing showed that YE strains belonging to various phage types, grown at either 37 or 25 degrees C, expressed susceptibility to reference sewage water phages whereas susceptibility to new waterborne phages, as well as to reference phages from lysogenic YE, was only demonstrated in YE strains grown at 25 degrees C. A YE strain isolated by stool culture from a pig was lysogenic for a bacteriophage which behaved like waterborne phages and reference phages from lysogenic YE strains. The possibility that the isolation of waterborne bacteriophages might, in certain circumstances, reflect the presence of lysogenic YE was raised.     

Bacteriophages of Erwinia amylovora

Fifty bacteriophage isolates of Erwinia amylovora, the causal agent of fire blight, were collected from sites in and around the Niagara region of southern Ontario and the Royal Botanical Gardens, Hamilton, Ontario. Forty-two phages survived the isolation, purification, and storage processes. The majority of the phages in the collection were isolated from the soil surrounding trees exhibiting fire blight symptoms. Only five phages were isolated from infected aerial tissue in pear and apple orchards. To avoid any single-host selection bias, six bacterial host strains were used in the initial isolation and enrichment processes. Molecular characterization of the phages with a combination of PCR and restriction endonuclease digestions showed that six distinct phage types, described as groups 1 to 6, were recovered. Ten phage isolates were related to the previously characterized E. amylovora PEa1, with some divergence of molecular markers between phages isolated from different sites. A study of the host ranges of the phages revealed that certain types were unable to efficiently lyse some E. amylovora strains and that some isolates were able to lyse the epiphytic bacterium Pantoea agglomerans. Representatives from the six molecular groups were studied by electron microscopy to determine their morphology. The phages exhibited distinct morphologies when examined by an electron microscope. Group 1 and 2 phages were tailed and contractile, and phages belonging to groups 3 to 6 had short tails or openings with thin appendages. Based on morphotypes, the bacteriophages of E. amylovora were placed in the order Caudovirales, in the families Myoviridae and PODOVIRIDAE:

Classification of 17 newly isolated virulent bacteriophages of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Seventeen virulent bacteriophages specific to Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were isolated by screening various environmental samples. These isolated bacteriophages were grouped based on results obtained from restriction fragment analysis of phage genomes, random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) typing, morphology observations under transmission electron microscope, and host range analysis. All 17 bacteriophages are double-stranded DNA viruses and can be divided into 5 groups based on DNA restriction profiles. A set of 10-mer primers was used in RAPD typing of phages, and similar conclusions were obtained as for restriction fragment analysis. One phage was randomly selected from each of the 5 groups for morphology observations. Four of them had an icosahedral head with a long contractile tail, belonging to the Myoviridae family, and one phage had an icosahedral head with a short tail, thereby belonging to the Podoviridae family. Host range experiments were conducted on 7 laboratory strains and 12 clinical strains of P.?aeruginosa. The results showed that 13 phages had the same infection profile, killing 8 out of 19 tested P.?aeruginosa strains, and the remaining 4 phages had different and unique infection profiles. This study highlights the diversity of bacteriophages specific to P.?aeruginosa in the environment.

A method for the enumeration of male-specific bacteriophages in sewage

H avelaar , A.H. & H ogeboom , W.M. 1984. A method for the enumeration of male-specific bacteriophages in sewage. Journal of Applied Bacteriology 56 , 439–447.
Male-specific bacteriophages adsorb to F-pili and thus can only infect male host strains. A method was developed for the selective enumeration of these phages, based on the observation that in sewage there are few phages capable of infecting F^--salmonellas—usually less than 10 pfu/ml. Using a male Salmonella strain, constructed by the introduction of the plasmid F'42 lac::Tn5 into Salmonella typhimu-rium phage type 3, plaque counts in secondary effluent were found to be in the range of 60–8200 pfu/ml. Practically all the phages detected had a host range restricted to male Salmonella or Escherichia coli strains, were resistant to chloroform and their infectivity was inhibited by RNase. Electron microscopy of lysates revealed phage particles that were morphologically identical to the male-specific single-strand RNA phages. Similar results were obtained with a strain of Salm. indiona carrying F'42 lac . A derivative of the Salm. typhimurium LT2 strain carrying an F-plasmid (F'42 lac fin P301) derepressed for fertility inhibition by the resident plasmid pSLT was equally sensitive to male-specific phages, but from sewage samples many other phages infecting F^- E. coli but not F^- Salmonella were isolated using this host strain.
