  1. Dependence of the titer of bacteriophages not adsorbed on Klebsiella pneumoniae cells on the incubation time in the phage-cell system is indicated. The average value (± SD) is calculated based on the results of three repetitions. The reduction in phage titer was the number of phages adsorbed on the cells. The percentage of viruses adsorbed on cells and adsorption constant are calculated
