Table 1. Privateer host range among P. mirabilis strains and other Gammaproteobacteria.
Bacterial host | Sensitive to Privateer | Description |
---|---|---|
P. mirabilis ATCC 35659 | + | Single plaques at ≥102 pfu/mL |
P. mirabilis B446 | – | No clearing |
P. mirabilis ATCC 7002 | + | Single smaller plaques at ≥106 pfu/mL |
P. mirabilis ATCC 29906 | + | Single smaller plaques at ≥106 pfu/mL |
P. mirabilis ATCC 43701 | – | Faint clearing at ≥109 pfu/mL |
P. mirabilis ATCC BAA-856 | + | Single smaller plaques at ≥106 pfu/mL |
P. mirabilis ATCC 25933 | + | Single smaller plaques at ≥106 pfu/mL |
E. coli MG1655 | – | No clearing |
K. pneumoniae 1776c | – | No clearing |
S. marcescens D1 | – | No clearing |
Note:
Proteus strains were considered sensitive if single plaques were observed at higher dilutions of the 1010 pfu/mL phage lysate. The bolded strain (ATCC 35659) indicates the host used for Privateer isolation.
