Structure Of The Head-tail Interface Part Of Myoviridae Bacteriophage TaPaz Revealed by Cryo-EM

Acinetobacter baumannii, a representative of non-fermenting Gram-negative aerobic bacteria, is one of the most significant nosocomial pathogens. In 2017, the World Health Organization included carbapenem-resistant A.baumannii strains in the list of bacteria that pose the greatest threat to human health and ranked them priority in the field of creating new antibacterial drugs [1]. The application of bacteriophages, viruses that specifically infect bacterial cells, as a possible alternative to the use of antibiotics to control multidrug-resistant A. baumannii strains, causes obvious and increasing interest around the world.
