Multiplicity of Infection, simplistically, is the ratio of adsorbed viruses to total adsorbable cells, but it's quite a bit more complicated than that.

The Bacteriophage Ecology Group exists as a means of organizing the bacteriophage ecology community, fostering communication, identifying others with complementary interests, and, in general, empowering the science of bacteriophage ecology.
