Non-replicative transduction particles with one or more non-native tail fibers and transduction particle-based reporter systems

A bacteriophage tail fiber replacement platform comprising:

• a bacteriophage lysogen from the family Myoviridae (Myoviridae lysogen) that contains a genetic disruption that prevents the expression of one or more genes that are critical for the production of tail fibers native to the Myoviridae lysogen, wherein the Myoviridae lysogen comprises a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
• 97, and
• a complementary nucleic acid molecule that complements the genetic disruption of the Myoviridae lysogen whereby functional tail fibers are produced, wherein the complementary nucleic acid molecule comprises a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs:
• 1-34 or a pair of sequences consisting of SEQ ID NOs:
• 98 and 99, 100 and 101, 102 and 103, 104 and 105, or 106 and 107.
