| Title | Programming Bacteriophages by Swapping Their Specificity Determinants. |
| Journal | Trends Microbiol |
| Abstract |
Bacteriophages, bacteria's natural enemies, may serve as potent antibacterial agents. Their specificity for certain bacterial sub-species limits their effectiveness, but allows selective targeting of bacteria. Lu and colleagues present a platform for such targeting through alteration of bacteriophages' host specificity by swapping specificity domains in their host-recognition ligand. |
