Reprogramming Bacteriophage Host Range through Structure-Guided Design of Chimeric Receptor Binding Proteins

Summary: Bacteriophages provide excellent tools for diagnostics, remediation, and targeted microbiome manipulation, yet isolating viruses with suitable host specificity remains challenging. Using Listeria phage PSA, we present a synthetic biology blueprint for host-range engineering through targeted...
