Table 3.
Host lysis matrix showing the three initial phages’ (Fern, Scottie, Xenia) ability to infect and kill the seven P. larvae strains used during evolution (top). Post evolution host lysis matrix showing the six new phage lysis patterns isolated during Appelmans (bottom 6 rows). Grey indicates host lysis, white indicates no host lysis, and “halo” indicates cell death without plaque formation.
