title: Methods for Initial Characterization of Campylobacter jejuni Bacteriophages.
abstract: Here we describe an initial characterization of Campylobacter jejuni bacteriophages by host range analysis, genome size determination by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, and receptor-type identification by screening mutants for phage sensitivity.
