[Detection of viruses in water of the Baltic Sea (author's transl)]. 1977

J Steinman

Virological examination of water of the Baltic Sea in the neighbourhood of a sewage outfall was done. By means of an apparatus for concentrating viruses in water, it was possible to detect enteroviruses in four of eleven samples, and in general in those moments, when conditions were fulfilled by a certain windway. The amount of viruses varied from 5 to 126 pfu in 10 liters, the ratio of virus to E. coli titer from 1:11 111 to 1:100 000. Factors influencing the decrease of virus titer in seawater were briefly discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D004770 Enterovirus A genus of the family PICORNAVIRIDAE whose members preferentially inhabit the intestinal tract of a variety of hosts. The genus contains many species. Newly described members of human enteroviruses are assigned continuous numbers with the species designated "human enterovirus". Coxsackie Viruses,Coxsackieviruses
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
