Extended Data Fig. 1: Characterization of the coating on bacteria.

a, Representative TEM images of the sections of S. Typhimurium and copolymer-coated phage-infected S. Typhimurium. Scale bars, 500 nm. The formed nanocoating structure on bacterial surface was highlighted in an enlarged view. Scale bar, 100 nm. b, c, Flow cytometry (b) histograms and (c) scatter plots of S. Typhimurium and copolymer-coated phage-infected S. Typhimurium, respectively. d, Percentage of copolymer-coated phage-infected S. Typhimurium after coating formation. e, MFI of S. Typhimurium and Cy3-labeled copolymer-coated phage-infected S. Typhimurium, respectively. Data are represented as mean ± s.d. (n = 5). P values were determined using two-tailed t-test.
