Phage-host interactions are commonly evaluated by culture-based methods. However, these techniques are very laborious and time-consuming. Therefore, other time-efficient, not labor-intensive, and cost-effective methods have been developed.This chapter describes the methodology used to assess the susceptibility of planktonic cultures of bacteria to phage infection and to study their interactions over time by flow cytometry.
Keywords: Flow cytometry; Phage; Synchronized infection.
