Pilin deletion confers resistance to a broad panel of viruses. Spots on lawn tests were performed with normalized virus titers to 1.47 × 10³ PFU/ml isolated from Kamchatka, Russia (▫︎) or Yellowstone National Park, USA (▾). Susceptibility to virus was tested with the susceptible strain: ∆A1, derived resistant strain: ∆A1∆6068, and plasmid complemented strains: ∆A1∆6068 pSeSD_pilA1, ∆A1 ∆6068 pSeSD_pilA2 and ∆A1∆6068 pSeSD_2741…pilA2. Triplicate experiments are shown
