Tailoring the Host Range of Ackermannviridae Bacteriophages through Chimeric Tailspike Proteins
19 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Host range is a major determinant in the industrial utility of a bacteriophage. A model host range permits broad recognition across serovars of a target bacterium while avoiding cross-reactivity with commensal microbiota. Searching for a naturally occurring bacteriophage with ideal host ranges is challenging, time-consuming, and restrictive. To address this, SPTD1.NL, a previously published luciferase reporter...
