Antibacterial efficacy of a K5-specific Klebsiella phage in milk and investigation of phage resistance mechanisms

Abstract excerpt

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important pathogen causing bovine mastitis and milk contamination, with severe consequences for the dairy industry. Due to increasing bacterial antibiotic resistance, phage therapy has regained attention; however, studies on the antibacterial properties of Klebsiella phages in milk are limited. We evaluated the antibacterial efficacy of the K5-specific phage in milk at 4°C and 38°C...
