∗Plaques seen but much smaller than plaques on 8413.
For spot testing +++indicates complete lysis, +indicates turbid lysis, -indicates no lysis. For plaque testing +indicates plaques seen, -indicates no plaques observed. NT indicates phage/host combinations not tested as lack of any apparent lysis in spot testing suggests no interaction of that pair. For all phage, efficiency of plating was reduced on all hosts relative to 8413.
