aEach single infection was done for all strains listed in Table 1; CO and SUPER infections were done for each of the following six pairs: 1S + 2E, 1S + 3E, 1S + 4E, 2S + 1E, 2S + 3E, 2S + 4E.
b
Numbers are the MOI at which X and Y were infected; the two columns represent the time of infection from the start of the experiment in hours.
c
X refers to the strain for which titers were determined, Y is the competitor.
All treatments were sampled at 72 hours postinfection; four independent experiments per treatment were conducted.
