Recent studies have shown the increasing interest of F-specific RNA phage genotyping to identify major sources of faecal contamination in waters. This study, conducted in a river located in an urbanized watershed with recognized anthropogenic influences, was aimed at evaluating the relevance of direct phage genotyping by real-time RT-PCR. One hundred percent of positive results were obtained with a 5 mL aliquot of river water (n = 31). Phage distribution was modified after cultivation, since the ratio of the two most abundant genogroups (II and I) reached 1.51 log(10) by direct RT-PCR-based method versus 0.30 log(10) after cultivation (n = 8). For the first time, positive correlations between the concentrations of genogroup II, bacterial indicators and human adenoviruses were observed, which may indicate a human faecal pollution. No correlation between genogroups II and I has been revealed. The concentration of genogroup I was only correlated with water turbidity, suggesting an animal pollution coming from upstream after rainfall events. Among the microbiological parameters studied, only genogroup II/genogroup I ratio shows variations occurring in the major sources of faecal pollution. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
