Abstract

The recognition and binding of host bacteria by bacteriophages is most often enabled by a highly specific receptor-ligand type of interaction, with the receptor-binding proteins (RBPs) of phages being the primary determinants of host specificity. Specifically modifying the RBPs could alter or extend the host range of phages otherwise exhibiting desired phenotypic properties. This study employed two different strategies to reprogram T7 phages ordinarily infecting commensal K12
