.
The first column identifies the E. coli strain by O, K, or H serotype, pathotype, toxins or other virulence factors (see Materials and Methods for details). Strains from the ICDDR,B are labeled with an asterisk. The second column indicates the number of phages from 32 tested stool phage isolates that infected the indicated cells. The following columns mark cells that are sensitive to the indicated phage in the spot test. The individual phages are specified with their JS code number and their morphological diagnosis (in parentheses).
