Proteus mirabilis is a pathogen that has been linked to nosocomial infections. Studies on phages infecting P. mirabilis may provide therapeutics for infections caused by antibiotic-resistant strains of this pathogen. Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of a P. mirabilis myophage, Mydo, which is distantly related to Escherichia coli phage rv5.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative bacterium that is a major cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of TK421, a clinical bacteremia isolate containing a hypervirulence plasmid carrying tra-associated conjugation machinery genes. Emergence of conjugative hypervirulence plasmids could portend rapid dissemination of hypervirulence among multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae strains.

Multidrug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus cause serious human disease worldwide. Bacteriophages offer a promising alternative to traditional antibiotics. Here, we announce the 141,712-bp genome of S. aureus phage Maine. A myophage with 9,019-bp predicted terminal repeats and high similarity to other Staphylococcus phages, Maine falls into the Twort-like group.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen and a leading cause of antibiotic-resistant nosocomial infections. The genome sequence of siphophage Skenny, which infects K. pneumoniae, is described here. Skenny encodes 78 genes and is closely related to Klebsiella phages KPN N141 and MezzoGao, which are T1-like phages.

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, a bacterium of the family Enterobacteriaceae, is a high-priority antibiotic-resistant pathogen that causes nosocomial infections. Here, we describe the isolation and annotation of the K. pneumoniae siphophage Shelby, a T1-like siphophage encoding 78 proteins, of which 34 have a predicted function.

Klebsiella pneumoniaeis a leading cause of nosocomial infections in the United States. Due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains, phages targetingK. pneumoniaemay be a useful alternative against this pathogen. Here, we announce the complete genome ofK. pneumoniaepseudo-T-even myophage Matisse and describe its features.
