Bacteriophage Receptors, Mechanisms of Phage Adsorption and Penetration into Host Cell

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: Bacteriophages are an attractive tool for application in the therapy of bacterial infections, for biological control of bacterial contamination of foodstuffs in the alimentary industry, in plant protection, for control of water-borne pathogens, and control of environmental microflora. This review is mainly focused on structures governing phage recognition of host cell and mechanisms of phage adsorption and penetration into microbial cell.
