Genomic Characterization of 30 Lytic Klebsiella pneumoniae Bacteriophages

The emergence and spread of Gram-negative pathogens that are resistant to multiple antibiotic classes pose a global risk to public health. Among such pathogens, carbapenem-resistant strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) are of concern due to their resistance to treatment by most antibiotics and the mobility of their...
