1
Strain used for phage isolation in Thailand; for isolation after enrichment, a cocktail of all five isolates mixed in equal ratios was used.
2
Data represent a total of 62 phage isolates from Thailand.
3
Data represent a total of 129 phage isolates from the U.S.; host range for 108 of these 129 phage isolates were previously reported by Moreno Switt et al., 2013a.
