FAGE LITIK SPESIFIK ESCHERICHIA COLI PADA LIMBAH CAIR PASAR TRADISIONAL DI KOTA BANDA ACEH
ABSTRACT: Changes in
environmental conditions and behavior in patients taking antibiotics causes
some pathogenic bacteria become resistant. Increased bacterial resistance to
antibiotics encourages applications as biocontrol phage to reduce pathogenic
bacteria. This research aims to detect lytic phage on liquid waste traditional
market in lysizing Escherichia coli bacteria. Plaque assay method was used in detecting
lytic phage in wastewater. The Phage assay results from samples of wastewater
traditional markets in Banda Aceh showed that specific lytic phage of E. coli
was not detected; it is shown by the absence of clear zone formation on
double-layer media (plaque assay negative).
