Phagograms

Susceptibility testing of clinical bacterial isolates

Phagograms

Bacteriophages are characterized by a high host specificity towards bacteria. The phagogram, similar to the antibiogram, is used to test the sensitivity of clinical bacterial isolates to the lytic activity of bacteriophages. Phagograms are prepared according to the standardized procedure established at the Eliava Institute, Tbilisi, Georgia.
