Isolation of Enterococcus Bacteriophages from Municipal Wastewater Samples Using an Enrichment Step
摘要
Municipal wastewater, as an aggregate mixture of household and industrial effluents, harbors a highly diverse population of bacteria and their associated bacteriophages. Accordingly, it is a commonly used source of bacteriophages against many human-associated bacterial pathogens. Here, we describe a method for bacteriophage isolation from municipal wastewater with several optional enrichment and concentration steps.
