If mycobacteriophages L5, D29, Bxz2 and TM4 are capable to growth on Mycobaterium smegmatis MC2 155 and on Mycobacterium ulcerans then these mycobacteria must have the same receptor or a different receptor for each of these mycobacteriophage.
Phage..M.ulcerans Receptor (R1) ...M.smegmatis Receptor(R2)
L5..................... R1L5................................................ R2L5
D29................. R1D29.............................................. R2D29
Bxz2............... R1Bxz2............................................. R2Bxz2
TM4 ...............R1TM4.............................................. R2TM4
Suppositions:
M.ulcerans Receptor(R1)
1)R1L5,R1D29,R1Bxz2,R1TM4 (the receptor is the same)
or
R1L5,R1D29,R1Bxz2,R1TM4 (the receptors are different one another).
M.smegmatis Receptor(R2)
2)R2L5,R2D29,R2Bxz2,R2TM4 (the receptor is the same)
or
R2L5,R2D29,R2Bxz2,R2TM4 (the receptors are different one another).
Combination:
3)R1L5,R1D29,R1Bxz2,R1TM4 and R2L5,R2D29,R2Bxz2,R2TM4 (the receptor is the same)
or
R1L5,R1D29,R1Bxz2,R1TM4 and R2L5,R2D29,R2Bxz2,R2TM4 (the receptors are different one another).
