a Spot test results: (+) sensitive for phage; (−) not sensitive for phage; (+/−) unclear result. b EOP: relative “efficiency of plating”; relative to the highest phage concentration (pfu/mL) obtained for the respective propagation strain (c ST29: 4.1 × 109 pfu/mL, d: ST11: 4.7 × 1010 pfu/mL and e ST27: 1.5 × 1010 pfu/mL). Calculated by dividing the phage concentration measured on the test strain by the phage concentration on the respective propagation strain.
