Targeting of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cell surface via GP12, an Escherichia coli specific bacteriophage protein

Abstract Bacteriophages are highly abundant molecular machines that have evolved proteins to target the surface of host bacterial cells. Given the ubiquity of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) on the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, we reasoned that targeting proteins from bacteriophages could be l...
