The host phylogeny determines viral infectivity and replication across Staphylococcus host species. by Sarah K Walsh, Ryan M Imrie, Marta Matuszewska, Gavin K Paterson, Lucy A Weinert, Jarrod D Hadfield, Angus Buckling, Ben Longdon

“…Here, we measure the susceptibility of 64 strains of Staphylococcaceae bacteria (48 strains of Staphylococcus aureus and 16 non-S. aureus species spanning 2 genera) to the bacteriophage ISP, which is currently under investigation for use in phage therapy. Using three methods-plaque assays, optical density (OD) assays, and quantitative (q)PCR-we find that the host phylogeny explains a large proportion of the variation in susceptibility to ISP across the host panel. …”
