			<p>Enteric bacteria are normal inhabitants of the intestines of humans and other
animals. Sewage contains high numbers of potentially very pathogenic enteric
bacteria known as fecal coliforms In their natural habitat enteric bacteria are
typically harmless but they can produce severe disease symptoms when ingested by
susceptible individuals, Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacterial cells.
Phages are nonliving agents and thus require the use of the host s metabolic
processes to replicate itself. In this study, the phages of interest are those that infect
and lyses E. coli host cells. When phages are released from the ruptured host,
distinct zones of clearing (plaques) form. The original E. coli host cells for this
experiment came from a sample of raw sewage. In order to obtain the
bacteriophage, a procedure of enrichment, isolation, dilution and seeding was
followed, the presence of distinct plaques indicated that lytic bacteriophage had
been successfully amplified, separated and grown. This study included
determination of phage titre. Phage titer is determined by serial dilution of phage
filterate (10-1, 10-2, 10-3, 10-4, 10-5, 10-6, 10-7, 10-8, and 10-9) the dilution factor gave
the best countable number of plaques is10-6. This dilution factor was then used for
further characterization. The objectives of this study were to isolate phage from
sewage sludge, identify its enteric bacterial host, and to determine the Phage titer.</p>
