FIG 1.

Infection kinetics of phage PMK34 against A. baumannii MK34. (A) Phage adsorption curve obtained by infecting exponentially growing bacteria (OD₆₅₅ = 0.6) with PMK34 (MOI of 0.01). The results are expressed as the percentage of the maximum number of adsorbed phages. (B) One-step growth curve of PMK34 when using an MOI of 0.01 to infect a bacterial culture (10⁶ CFU/ml). (C) Lytic effect of different MOIs of PMK34 (1 to 10⁻⁹) during a 24 h of incubation. The OD₆₅₅ was monitored spectrophotometrically at 30-min intervals. All values represent the means ± the standard deviations (SD) of three biological replicates.
