Fig. 5

Lytic activity of phage TUN1 against Kp strains with different K-types. Upper panel: Growth experiments with phage TUN1 and four different Kp K64 strains. TUN1 lyses its host strain used for enrichment: Kp 7984 (written in bold) as well as Kp 8338 and 8971 with different efficiencies while Kp 6096 is not affected. Lower panel: Effect of phage TUN1 on Kp with the capsule types K27, K52, K17 and K25. Here, no lysis of Kp by phage TUN1 could be observed. Green: Kp strain alone. Red: Kp strain supplemented with phage TUN1
