1 Bacteriophage-insensitive mutant (BIM) confirmation conducted using same phage as in column 1. R (red): resistant (no phage activity seen within bacterial spot); I (yellow): intermediate (phage activity seen within bacterial spot); S (green): sensitive (<10 colonies within bacterial spot), -: not tested. 2 NG: no growth; BIM was not recovered during single colony purification and is therefore presumed to be sensitive; no other testing possible.
