In this paper from a quite experienced group with bacterial adhesion study, they used initial adhesion rate and adhesion numbers after 4h. The number of cells attached increase linearly in the initial phase, which allows a linear fitting to get initial adhesion rate.

Nothing more complex than basic models. No need to go into fancy methods for something already deduced empirically: See http://myxo.css.msu.edu/lenski/pdf/1985,%20AmNat,%20Lenski%20&%20Levin.pdf

I would suggest first t do one step curve of bacteriophage n then proceed for further calculation. one step curve will give you MOI (multiplicity of infection).
