The use of antibiotics to improve phage detection and enumeration by the double-layer agar technique

BACKGROUND: The Double-Layer Agar (DLA) technique is extensively used in phage research to enumerate and identify phages and to isolate mutants and new phages. Many phages form large and well-defined plaques that are easily observed so that they can be enumerated when plated by the DLA technique. Ho...
