In vitro planktonic cell lysis assay evaluating phage A) vAbBal23 against strain AB12, B) vAbAbd25 against strain AB12 and C) a combination of phages vAbBal23-vAbAbd25 against strain AB12. Each phage was studied at multiplicities of infection (MOIs) 1, 10^− 1, and 10^− 3. The data represent the means and standard errors from three biological and technical triplicate experiments for single phage treatment and triplicate experiments for phage cocktail treatment. D) One-step growth curve of phages vAbBal23 and vAbAbd25 on AB12. The data points indicate the PFUs/mL at different time points. Each data point represents the mean of three independent measurements
