Isolation, Characterization, Genome Analysis and Host Resistance Development of Two Novel Lastavirus Phages Active against Pandrug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae
25 Feb 2023
Abstract excerpt
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a global health threat and bacteriophages are a potential solution in combating pandrug-resistant K. pneumoniae infections. Two lytic phages, LASTA and SJM3, active against several pandrug-resistant, nosocomial strains of K. pneumoniae were isolated and characterized. Their host range is narrow and latent period is particularly long; however, their lysogenic nature was refuted using both...
