Table 2. Determination of optimal multiplicity of infection.

Tube No.    Number of bacteria    Number of bacteriophage M.O.I    Titer at 6h(PFU/ml)
1 1.0×106 1.0×104 0.01 5.0×107
2 1.0×106 1.0×105 0.1 1.9×108
3 1.0×106 1.0×106 1 8.3×109
4 1.0×106 1.0×107 10 3.9×109
5 1.0×106 1.0×108 100 1.4×109

M.O.I Multiplicity of Infection

E. faecalis 002 was infected with bacteriophage IME-EF1 at different M.O.I. The phage multiplication was calculated at 6 h post infection, and indicated with plaque forming unit (PFU) per milliliter culture.
