Table 5 Targeted screening for mutations in additional bacteriophage insensitive mutants

^aFive different mutants had initially been obtained from the same S. pneumoniae R6 parental culture for the selection of mutants insensitive to the phages SOCP or Dp-1
^bFor each mutation, the change at the nucleotide level is indicated on top and the corresponding substitution at the amino acid level is indicated in italic underneath
^cNA, not applicable. These alleles were not sequenced because they should be irrelevant to the resistance phenotype of the phage
^dBoth mutated positions are part of the same codon and lead to a single amino acid substitution
