Phage tailspike modularity and horizontal gene transfer reveals specificity towards E. coli O-antigen serogroups
BACKGROUND: The interaction between bacteriophages and their hosts is intricate and highly specific. Receptor-binding proteins (RBPs) of phages such as tail fibers and tailspikes initiate the infection process. These RBPs bind to diverse outer membrane structures, including the O-antigen, which is a...
