Water quality - Detection and enumeration of bacteriophages - Part 1: Enumeration of F-specific RNA bacteriophages (ISO 10705-1:1995)

Specifies a method for the detection and enumeration of F-specific ribonucleic acid bacteriophages. The sample is incubated with an appropriate host strain. Applicable to all kinds of water, sediments and sludges, even for shellfish extracts. The presence of F-specific RNA bacteriophages in a water sample indicates pollution by wastewater contaminated by human or animal faeces.

Wasserbeschaffenheit - Nachweis und Zählung von Bakteriophagen - Teil 1: Zählung von F-spezifischen RNA-Bakteriophagen (ISO 10705-1:1995)

Dieser Teil von ISO 10705 legt ein Verfahren zum Nachweis und zur Zählung
von F-spezifischen Ribonucleinsäure-(RNA-)Bakteriophagen durch Bebrütung
der Probe mit einem geeigneten Wirtsstamm fest. Das Verfahren kann für alle
Arten von Wasser, Sedimenten und Schlämmen angewandt werden, wenn
notwendig nach Verdünnung. Im Falle von geringen Anzahlen kann eine Auf-konzentration
erforderlich sein, für die ein gesonderter Teil von ISO 10705
entwickelt werden wird. Das Verfahren kann auch für Schalentierextrakte ange-wandt
werden. In Abhängigkeit von der relativen Häufigkeit der F-spezifischen
RNA-Bakteriophagen gegenüber Hintergrundorganismen können zusätzliche
Bestätigungstests notwendig sein, die ebenfalls in diesem Teil von ISO 10705
festgelegt werden.
Das Vorhandensein von F-spezifischen RNA-Bakteriophagen in einer Wasser-probe
zeigt im Allgemeinen eine Verunreinigung durch Abwasser an, das mit
menschlichen oder tierischen Fäkalien kontaminiert ist. Ihr Überleben in der
Umwelt, die Entfernung durch gängige Wasseraufbereitungsprozesse und die
Anreicherung oder Zurückhaltung in Schalentieren ähneln denen von nah-rungs-
und wasserbürtigen enteralen Viren des Menschen, z. B. Enteroviren,
Hepatitis-A-Virus und Rotaviren.

Qualité de l'eau - Détection et dénombrement des bactériophages - Partie 1: Dénombrement des bactériophages ARN F spécifiques (ISO 10705-1:1995)

La présente partie de l'ISO 10705 prescrit une méthode de détection et de dénombrement des bactériophages ARN F spécifiques par incubation de l'échantillon avec une souche-hôte appropriée. La méthode peut être appliquée à tous les types d'eaux, de sédiments et de boues, si nécessaire après dilution. Dans le cas de faible population, une étape de préconcentration peut être nécessaire pour laquelle une partie séparée sera élaborée. La méthode peut également être appliquée aux extraits de coquillage.  Des essais supplémentaires de confirmation des résultats, également spécifiés dans la présente partie de l'ISO 10705, peuvent être nécessaires, suivant le nombre plus ou moins élevé des bactériophages ARN F spécifiques par rapport aux autres organismes présents.  La présence de bactériophages ARN F spécifiques dans un échantillon d'eau indique en général une pollution par des eaux usées contaminées par des matières fécales d'origine animale ou humaine. Les caractéristiques de leur résistance dans l'environnement, de leur élimination par des procédés courants de traitement de l'eau, ainsi que de leur concentration ou rétention par les coquillages, ressemble à celle des virus entériques humains présents dans l'eau et dans les aliments, par exemple les entérovirus, le virus de l'hépatite A et les rotavirus.

IS0 10705=1:1995(E) Foreword IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard IS0 10705-l was prepared by Technical Committee lSO/TC 147, Water quality, Subcommittee SC 4, Microbiological methods. IS0 10705 consists of the following parts, under the general title Water quality - Detection and enumeration of bacteriophages: - Part 7: Enumeration of F-specific RNA bacteriophages - Part 2: Enumeration of somatic coliphages Annex A forms an integral part of this part of IS0 10705.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD 0 IS0 IS0 10705-1:1995(E) Water quality - Detection and enumeration of bacteriophages - Part 1: Enumeration of F-specific RNA bacteriophages 1 Scope This part of IS0 10705 specifies a method for the detection and enumeration of F-specific ribonucleic acid (RNA) bacteriophages by incubating the sample with an appropriate host strain. The method can be applied to all kinds of water, sediments and sludges, where necessary after dilution. In the case of low numbers, a preconcentration step may be necessary for which a separate part of IS0 10705 will be devel- oped. The method can also be applied to shellfish extracts. Depending on the relative abundance of F- specific RNA bacteriophages to background organisms, additional confirmatory tests may be necessary and are also specified in this part of IS0 10705. The presence of F-specific RNA bacteriophages in a water sample generally indicates pollution by wastewater contaminated by human or animal faeces. Their survival in the environment, removal by widely used water treatment processes and concentration or retention by shellfish resembles that of foodborne and waterborne human enteric viruses, for example the enteroviruses, hepatitis A virus and rotaviruses. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of IS0 10705. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this part of IS0 10705 are encouraged to investi- gate the possibility of applying the most recent edi- tions of the standards indicated below.

IS0 10705-1:1995(E) . 0 IS0 of 40 (occasionally 400) Clglml of RNase in the plating medium. 6.3 Reagents 6.3.1 RNase from bovine pancreas, specific ac- tivity approximately 50 units/mg (Kunitz). 4 Principle The sample is mixed with a small volume of semi- solid nutrient medium. A culture of host strain is added and plated on a solid nutrient medium. After this, incubation and reading of plates for visible plaques takes place. Where necessary, simultaneous examination of parallel plates with added RNase for confirmation by differential counts is carried out. The results are expressed as the number concentration of plaque-forming particles (Cpfp) per unit of volume. 5 Safety precautions The host strain used is a Salntonella fyphimurium mutant of low pathogenicity and should be hand- led in accordance with the appropriate national or international safety procedures for this bac- terial species. F-specific RNA bacteriophages are non-pathogenic for man and animals, but are very resistant to drying. Appropriate precautions should therefore be taken to prevent cross- contamination of test materials, particularly when examining or handling cultures of high titre or when inoculating cultures of the host strains. Such procedures must be carried out in a biohazard cabinet or a separate area of the lab- oratory. 6 Diluent, culture media and reagents 6.1 Basic materials Use ingredients of uniform quality and chemicals of analytical grade for the preparation of culture media and reagents, and follow the instructions given in an- nex A. For information on storage see IS0 8199, ex- cept where indicated in this part of IS0 10705. Alternatively, use dehydrated complete media and follow strictly the manufacturer’s instructions. For the preparation of media, use glass-distilled water or deionized water free from substances which might inhibit bacterial growth under the conditions of the test, and in accordance with IS0 3696. 6.2 Diluent For making sample dilutions, use peptone saline sol- ution as indicated in A.8. 6.3.2 Antibiotic discs, for susceptibility testing with nalidixic acid (130 pg; 9 mm) and kanamycin (100 pg; 9 mm). 6.3.3 Glycerol, 870 g/litre. 6.4 Microbiological reference cultures Salmonella typhimurium strain WG49, phage type 3 Nal’ (F’ 42 /ac::Tn5), NCTC 12484.
