Abstract excerpt
AIM: This study aimed to characterize prophage diversity and assess the prophage-encoded genes associated with pathogenicity in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Multiple stressors, including mitomycin-C, were applied to CRKP isolates of ST985, ST101, ST307, and ST2096 to trigger prophage induction. Induced lysates and bacterial genomes were sequenced. Prophages were...
