In addition to looking cool, Mystique also has a really quite impressive host-range. We tested it on the MRSN diversity panel for A. baumannii + a few other AB strains (n = 103), and it can infect an astounding 91.3% of them.
While struggling to isolate a phage at all, we also discovered that other phages in our collection actually *can* infect AB5075... but only in liquid culture. In other words, phages that do not plaque on a bacterial lawn may still be able to infect in liquid!
