1. A method for labelling or coating a cell with a payload or composition, or contacting a cell with a payload or composition, comprising:
contacting the cell with a genetically engineered bacteriophage of the genus Caudovirales,
wherein an exterior or outer surface of the bacteriophage comprises a payload or a composition, or the exterior or outer surface of the bacteriophage has attached thereto a payload or a composition, or a payload or a composition is adherent to the exterior or outer surface of the bacteriophage,
wherein the genetically engineered bacteriophage genome is altered such that after reproduction in a host cell, or in an in vitro system, the exterior or outer surface of the genetically engineered bacteriophage expresses or displays:
(a) on a tailspike protein at least one non-bacteriophage carbohydrate binding domain (CBD) comprising a lectin;
(b) at least one heterologous bacteriophage Ig-like CBD; or
(c) a combination of (a) and (b).
