FIG 1.

Host ranges of Enterococcus phages as determined using spot assays (see Materials and Methods). Complete lysis is indicated by the orange boxes, and white boxes represent no lysis. Several vancomycin-sensitive (light gray boxes around strain names) and vancomycin-resistant (dark gray boxes around strain names) Enterococcus isolates were used for this study. GenBank accession numbers for the 18 additional phages discovered as part of this study along with the Myoviridae phage, EfV12-phi1 (V12) obtained from the Félix d'Hérelle Reference Center for Bacterial Viruses at the Université Laval are listed in Table S3 in the supplemental material.
