Figure 3: Lytic spectrum of ClyF.

Multiple strains of staphylococci (including S. aureus, S. saprophyticus, S. equorum, S. sciuri, S. chromogenes, S. haemolyticus, S. epidermidis, S. capitis, and S. albus), streptococci, enterococci and Listeria were tested for susceptibility to ClyF. All the strains are washed once with PBS and treated with 25 μg/ml ClyF at 37 °C for 60 min. The final result is presented as rate of lysis (−mOD600nm/min) according to the decrease in OD600nm for each strain in the first 3 min. Groups treated with PBS were used as controls, each assay was repeated for at least three times. Mean values are plotted, and error bars represent 1× standard deviation.
