This study determines the high-resolution structure of a jumbo bacteriophage infecting Klebsiella pneumoniae, revealing its complex tail fibers that enable infection of multiple capsular polysaccharide types.

The paper shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains with more phage defense systems are more resistant to phages, and these systems often target different phage genera.

The paper isolates and sequences four novel bacteriophages infecting Klebsiella pneumoniae, revealing low sequence identity to known phages and potential new DNA packaging mechanisms and protein clades.

This paper introduces CH-STED, a super-resolution imaging technique that improves optical sectioning and reduces background fluorescence for high-contrast imaging of biological structures.

This study analyzes Acinetobacter baumannii prophages to show their diversity and role in enhancing bacterial virulence and fitness.
