Bacteriophage K1-5 encodes two different tail fiber proteins, allowing it to infect and replicate on both K1 and K5 strains of Escherichia coli.

Journal of virology - 1 Mar 2001

Scholl D, Rogers S, Adhya S, Merril C R

Abstract excerpt

A virulent double-stranded DNA bacteriophage, Phi K1-5, has been isolated and found to be capable of infecting Escherichia coli strains that possess either the K1 or the K5 polysaccharide capsule. Electron micrographs show that the virion consists of a small icosohedral head with short tail spikes, similar to members of the Podoviridae family. DNA sequence analysis of the region encoding the tail fiber protein...
