Co-Infection of C3000 Esherichia coli with Bacteriophages MS2 and T7 or pX-174 Results in Differential Cell Lysis Patterns

Bacteriophages can be used as a model for studying the dynamics of viral co-infection in a susceptible host. Escherichia coli strain C3000 was chosen as a common, susceptible host to determine the effect of competition on the lifecycle of MS2 co-infected with Φ X-174 or T7. Strai...
