Bacterial growth inhibition curves or “Phagogram” for a compassionate use Staphylococcus epidermidis case in a recalcitrant prosthetic joint infection. Different bacteriophages are indicated by PM241-PM472. MOI refers to multiplicity of infection. Growth control is the bacterial isolate with no bacteriophages. Each box has time on the x-axis from 0 to 48 h. This figure shows how growth inhibition testing is conducted to determine potential bacteriophage candidates (PM448, PM472, and PM421). This figure also shows how different MOIs can cause different growth inhibition durations as seen with bacteriophages: PM448, PM472, and PM421.
