Figure 1From: The in vivo efficacy of two administration routes of a phage cocktail to reduce numbers of Campylobacter coli and Campylobacter jejuni in chickensElectron micrographs of the Campylobacter phages that composed the cocktail: (a) Phage phiCcoIBB12; (b) Phage phiCcoIBB35; (c) Phage phiCcoIBB37. Phages were stained with 1% uranyl acetate and observed with a transmission electron microscopy. There was no difference in morphology between the three phages. They have an icosahedral head of approximately 100 nm in diameter and a contractile tail with 140 × 17 nm average length. This morphology is typical of the members of the Myoviridae family.Back to article page
