Luminescent Phage-Based Detection of <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>: From Engineering to Diagnostics

Bacteriophages (“phages”) infect and multiply within specific bacterial strains, causing lysis of their target. Due to the specific nature of these interactions, phages allow a high-precision approach for therapy which can also be exploited for the detection of phage-sensitive pathogens associated w...
