Phage Digestion of a Bacterial Capsule Imparts Resistance to Two Antibiotic Agents
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria, replicating and multiplying using host resources. For specific infections, bacteriophages have developed extraordinary proteins for recognizing and degrading their host. Inspired by the remarkable development of viral proteins, we used the tail fiber...
