47—yehl paper

Kevin Yehl of MIT and colleagues have developed a high-throughput strategy to genetically engineer host range-determining regions within phage tail fiber proteins to create libraries of millions of phages with different receptor binding capacities. They showed that "phagebodies" could limit E. coli in a mouse wound infection model, and they did not observe emergence of phage-resistant strains. Cell Host & Microbe Paper | News article
