Characterization and Genomic Analysis of Bacteriophage vB_KpnM_IME346 Targeting Clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain of the K63 Capsular Type
13 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
A Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteriophage (vB_KpnM_IME346) was isolated from a hospital sewage sample. This bacteriophage specifically infects a clinical K. pneumoniae strain with a K63 capsular polysaccharide structure. The phage genome was evaluated by next-generation sequencing, which revealed a linear double-stranded DNA genome consisting of 49,482 base pairs with a G+C content of 49.1%. The latent period of...
