“…63 Bacteria-mediated virus coinfection could also promote virus evolution and zoonotic transmission. 16,74 Bacteria and their cellular compounds could promote the environmental persistence, particularly thermostability, of waterborne human pathogenic viruses. Reovirus showed enhanced thermostability at 23−37 °C for hours by interacting with bacterial PG and LPS in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS).…”

“…Water is a complex environment containing many coexisting microbes, and the interactions of waterborne human pathogenic viruses and microbiome have significant environmental and public health impacts. This is because viruses in microbial communities could show enhanced infectivity, environmental persistence, and resistance to disinfection, due to the en bloc transmission of the viruses and unique virus–microbiome interactions. − Though waterborne human pathogenic viruses do not propagate in their microbial neighbors, virus–microbiome interactions can gather multiple virions for collective infection and potentially provide multiple benefits to the viruses such as increasing the multiplicity of infection (MOI), facilitating genome recombination and reassortment, and evading host immune systems (Figure d). Viruses surrounded by their microbial neighbors (e.g., internalized within FLAs, bound with bacteria, and cloaked within extracellular vesicles) can also dodge the damage caused by environmental stressors and disinfectants (Figure d).…”

Waterborne human pathogenic viruses challenge global health and economy. Viruses were long believed to transmit among hosts as individual, free particles. However, recent evidence indicates that viruses also transmit in populations, so-called en bloc transmission, by either interacting with coexisting bacteria, free-living amoebas, and other higher organisms through endosymbiosis and surface binding, or by being clustered inside membrane-bound vesicles or simply self-aggregating with themselves. En bloc transmission of viruses and virus−microbiome interactions could enable viruses to enhance their infectivity, increase environmental persistence, and resist inactivation from disinfection. Overlooking this type of transmission and virus−microbiome interactions may underestimate the environmental and public health risks of the viruses. We herein provide a critical perspective on waterborne human pathogenic viruses in complex microbial communities to elucidate the environmental implication of virus−microbiome interactions on virus infectivity, persistence, and disinfection. This perspective also provides insights on advancing disinfection and sanitation guidelines and regulations to protect the public health.

“…This might constitute a key reservoir for chronic infections. Additionally, as discussed by Dawley and Gibson ( 81 ), specific associations of viruses with bacteria or other microorganisms are likely to allow the easier entry of virions into the biofilm, resulting in a reservoir of viruses. These virions are as difficult to remove and inactivate as their bacterial counterparts, turning infections persistent for a long time ( 81 ).…”

Bats are a key reservoir of coronaviruses (CoVs), including the agent of the severe acute respiratory syndrome, SARS-CoV-2, responsible for the recent deadly viral pneumonia pandemic. However, understanding how bats can harbor several microorganisms without developing illnesses is still a matter under discussion. Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone even though it is known that, in nature, they mostly live in multi-species associations called biofilms - both externally and within the host. Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been already described. In this review, we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to occurrence in biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for non-pathogenic and well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination. Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as in fomites and aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination. Moreover, understanding CoVs biofilm lifestyle in reservoirs might contribute to explain several burning questions that remain unanswered including persistence and transmissibility by highly pathogenic emerging CoVs.

“…There is limited information surrounding the occurrence and survival of foodborne viruses in bacterial biofilms in the food sector and their potential role in the viral dissemination in this environment (Dawley & Gibson, 2019). Nevertheless, a first study demonstrating the incorporation and interactions between poliovirus and biofilms present in a wastewater treatment plant was published in 1997 (Quignon et al, 1997).…”

Interactions Between Infectious Foodborne Viruses and Bacterial Biofilms Formed on Different Food Contact Surfaces

Bacterial biofilms contribute to contamination, spoilage, persistence, and hygiene failure in the food industry, but relatively little is known about the behavior of foodborne viruses evolving in the complex communities that make up biofilm. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between enteric viruses and biofilms on food contact surfaces. Formed biofilms of mono- and multispecies cultures were prepared on glass, stainless steel, and polystyrene coupons and 105 pfu/ml of murine norovirus, rotavirus, and hepatitis A virus were added and incubated for 15 min, 90 min, and 24 h. The data obtained clearly demonstrate that the presence of biofilms generally influences the adhesion of enteric viruses to different surfaces. Many significant increases in attachment rates were observed, particularly with rotavirus whose rate of viral infectious particles increased 7000 times in the presence of Pseudomonas fluorescens on polystyrene after 24 h of incubation and with hepatitis A virus, which seems to have an affinity for the biofilms formed by lactic acid bacteria. Murine norovirus seems to be the least influenced by the presence of biofilms with few significant increases. However, the different factors surrounding this association are unknown and seem to vary according to the viruses, the environmental conditions, and the composition of the biofilm.
