Transmission electron micrograph showing an icosahedral head (120 × 120 nm) and a contractile tail (150 × 22 nm) (a). Lytic activity of phage M1 against 141 Klebsiella spp. clinical isolates obtained from Georgia (n = 88), France (22), Switzerland (21), Singapore (6), and China (4) (b). Biological characteristics of phage M1 as determined in propagation strain 1a. Adsorption curve (c), single-step growth curve (d), pH stability (e), and temperature stability (f). BS, burst size; LP, latent period; PFU, plaque-forming unit. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
