A VersaTile Approach to Reprogram the Specificity of the R2-Type Tailocin Towards Different Serotypes of <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>
<b>Background:</b> Phage tail-like bacteriocins, or tailocins, provide a competitive advantage to producer cells by killing closely related bacteria. Morphologically similar to headless phages, their narrow target specificity is determined by receptor-binding proteins (RBPs). While RBP e...
