FIG 3.

Properties and behaviors of M. abscessus clinical isolates. M. abscessus clinical isolates are shown with their phylogenetic relationships (as in Fig. 1), colony morphotype (R, rough; S, smooth) and susceptibilities to M. smegmatis phages (leftmost circles). Filled circles indicate either no phage infection (black) or efficiency of plating (EOP) relative to M. smegmatis of >0.1. Empty circles indicate no infection or an EOP relative to M. smegmatis of <0.1. Filled circles with an “X” reflect efficient infection (EOP >0.1) but poor killing; absence of circle, not tested. Filled circles with a white asterisk denote strains infected by HRM, but not the parental phage. The rightmost circles indicate susceptibilities to phiGD phages. Empty circles indicate no infection and filled circles reflect efficiency of plating relative to the original recipient strain of >0.01. To the right are squares indicating the presence of prophages and plasmids, with the cluster indicated at the top. Filled squares, presence of prophage or plasmid; empty squares, absence of prophage or plasmid.
