Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophage VP1 is a typing phage used for the phage subtyping of Vibrio cholerae O1 biotype El Tor, but the molecular mechanisms of its receptor recognition and the resistance of its host to infection are mostly unknown. In this study, we aimed to identify the host receptor and its role in resistance in natural VP1-resistant strains. Generating spontaneous resistance mutations and genome sequencing mutant...
