Infection of S. maltophilia strains D1585 and 280 by phage DLP4. Wildtype (WT) S. maltophilia strains D1585 and 280 are susceptible to DLP4 infection, whereas the ΔpilA mutants in both strains are resistant to phage infection. Complementation of strain D1585 ΔpilA with the D1585 pilA gene restores phage infection to wildtype levels, plaquing at 103 PFU/mL. Complementation of strain 280 ΔpilA with the endogenous 280 pilA gene partially restores DLP4 infectivity, clearing at 109 PFU/mL compared to 107 PFU/mL on 280 WT. Images are representative of three biological replicates, each with three technical replicates
