Figure 1

Plaque shape and spot tests of phages K5-2 and K5-4. (A) Clear plaques surrounded by translucent halos are observed on the plate with phages K5-2 and K5-4 filtrate incubated with the Klebsiella reference K5 strain and K. pneumoniae NTUH-K44 strain. (B) Spot tests of K5-2 and K5-4 (105 PFU) on 77 Klebsiella K serotype reference strains and two new type N1 and N2 strains. The reference K5 strain was used as a positive control (positive reactions are indicated by a white arrow). Negative reactions are observed in the other reference strains (data not shown).
