Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods for the production of mutant bacteriophages with altered host range. Additionally, disclosed herein are methods and systems for rapid detection of microorganisms such asspp. in a sample. A genetically modified bacteriophage is also disclosed which comprises an indicator gene in the late gene region. The specificity of the bacteriophage, such as-specific bacteriophage, allows detection of a specific microorganism, such asspp. and an indicator signal may be amplified to optimize assay sensitivity.
