Structural modularity of receptor-binding proteins underlies host-range strategy diversification in Klebsiella pneumoniae phages

Vyshakh R. Panicker, Bogna J. Smug, Victor Klein-Sousa, Mark C. Enright, Nicholas M. I. Taylor, Zuzanna Drulis‐Kawa, Rafal J. Mostowy

This study identifies structural modularity in Klebsiella pneumoniae phage RBPs, showing how modular exchange drives host-range diversification across multiple scales.
