Abstract
⺠We describe current knowledge on the early steps of infection of bacteria by phages. ⺠The 3-dimensional structure of phages receptor binding proteins has been solved. ⺠Phage-host interactions were characterized by cryo-electron tomography of bacteria. ⺠The dynamics of phage components in bacteria was monitored by fluorescence microscopy. ⺠These studies have emphasized the link between infection and microbial architecture.
