title: [Study of the mechanisms of interaction between intestinal bacteriophages and polyaluminum coagulants].
abstract: The authors have investigated the adsorption-elution of intestinal bacteriophages T2 and MS2 as a model of enteric viruses, by using the coagulants aluminum oxychloride (AOX78) and aluminum sulfate (AS). The investigation has ascertained the effective removal of the phages from water with AOX78 (98.7-100%) and the low efficiency of elution of coliphages from the particles of AOX hydrolysis products (0.1-3.7% of the baseline count of bacteriophages), which may suggest that AOX has antiviral activity. The above phenomena produced by AS are less evident.
