Patterns of resistance of bacterial survivors after phage infection of strain NCTC 12900

E. coli O157:H7 NCTC 12900 strain Phage Wild type 12900Rcev1 (CEV1 survivor) 12900Rcev2 (CEV2 survivor)
CEV1 + − +
CEV2 + + −
T4* − − −

The bacteria are survivors of single-phage infections (MOI∼100). Susceptibility to phages was determined using our standard spot test method. (+, sensitive to phage infection; −, resistant to phage infection; *used as a control, it is incapable of infecting E. coli O157:H7 strains).
