If one bacteriophage can infect more than a species of bacteria.
this means that the phage might has 2 binding proteins binding to 2 different receptors on host cell surface?
or
one tail protein receptor can bind 2 different receptors on host cell surface?
Robert Adolf Brinzer
Else the host receptors have conserved domains. Alternatively binding could be via glycans.

Robert Adolf Brinzer it’s a good idea
so in the case I mentioned in the question. and the both Bacteria are gram negative .
you think the host receptor is the same for both of those bacteria ?
They are pseudomonas and Klebsiella
