Summary
Cryo-electron microscopy is utilized to determine the structures of phages K1E and K1-5 and thereby establish the mechanism by which these phages attain and switch their host specificity, suggesting a mechanism for the apparent processivity of degradation that occurs as the phage drills through the polysaccharide capsule.
