| Abstract |
The host range of a bacteriophage is defined by what bacterial genera, species and strains it can lyse; it is one of the defining biological characteristics of a particular bacterial virus. Because of host factors such as masking by O antigens that affects injection and the presence of restriction endonucleases, the relative efficiency of plating (EOP), that is, the titer of the phage on a given bacterial cell line compared to the maximum titer observed, may vary considerably. This chapter describes rapid procedures for determining the host range and relative EOP on each host of any phage. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 May 2023.
All research outputs
#3,738,793
of 26,017,215 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#822
of 14,458 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#17,895
of 184,636 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#25
of 183 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,017,215 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,458 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 184,636 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 183 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
