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.
