Abstract
Novel reporter bacteriophages are provided. Provided are compositions and methods that allow bacteriophages that are used for specific detection or killing of0157:H7 to be propagated in nonpathogenic, thereby eliminating the safety and security risks of propagation in0157:H7. Provided are compositions and methods for attaching active bacteriophages to the surface of a polymer in order to kill target bacteria with which the phage comes into contact. Provided are modified bacteriophages immobilized to a surface, which capture0157:H7 and cause the captured cells to emit light or fluorescence, allowing detection of the bacteria in a sample.
