Phage Characterization:
- Phage susceptibility on clinical isolates
- Phage Genome Sequencing and annotation
- Bacteria Genome Sequencing and annotation
- Bioinformatic analysis of potential toxins, and deleterious elements
- Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
- Generalized transduction assays
- Determination of infection cycle parameters such as phage adsorption rate, latent period, and burst size
- Emergence frequency of bacteriophage insensitive mutants
- ICH phage stability
- Selection of production non-pathogenic host
