Authors focus on proteins capable of recognizing highly pathogenic strains, such as Acinetobacter baumannii, Campylobacter spp., Yersinia pestis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus spp., Salmonella spp., and Shigella.
In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the current methodologies in which phage proteins play major roles in detecting pathogenic bacteria. One interesting approach is to mobilize the ability of phage tail proteins to recognize and bind to bacterial hosts. In recent years, a number of bacterial detection methods have been developed to replace time-consuming culture methods.
