^bMotility was determined by the standard wet mount method. 

^cThe number of PFU was determined after 1 day of incubation at 25°C, and the EOP was quantified by calculating the ratio of PFU obtained with each strain to those obtained with strain PTH-9802. 

^dSee references 15 and 31. 

^eSee reference 14. 

^fThis strain was used as an indicator strain for phage isolation.
