Abundance patterns of the Staphylococcus epidermidis strains (thick lines) and their infecting phage (thin dashed lines). All three phages exist primarily as prophages but also were identified as free-existing phages. Insertion positions are in regions that are shared by both abundant strains (and probably also by strain 4), but abundance patterns suggest that phage 13 and 14 infect strain 1, while phage 46 infects strain 3.
