1 All values provided are expressed as mean ± standard deviation in triplicate. The lowercase letters are for the control or each phage treatment, and those connected by different letters indicate a significant difference (p < 0.05), and the asterisks (*) indicates a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the control and phage treatments at the same time.
