Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen that is the cause of several hospital-acquired infections. Bacteriophages that target this bacterium could be used therapeutically as novel antimicrobial agents. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of the T1-like K. pneumoniae phage Sanco.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen associated with hospital-acquired infections. This report describes the complete genome of the K. pneumoniae myophage Mulock, which appears to be a temperate myophage distantly related to other Klebsiella myophages in morphogenesis genes and is partially syntenic with the canonical Escherichia phage lambda in genes encoding lambda-like functions.

Serratia marcescens is a Gram-negative nosocomial pathogen causing various hospital-acquired infections. Here, we describe the complete genome sequence of S. marcescens myophage Moabite. The genome of Moabite is 273,933 bp long, with 337 predicted coding sequences and two tRNA genes, and it shares its highest amino acid identity with Serratia phage 2050HW.

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.

Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important opportunistic pathogen due to its drug resistance. This study reports on the isolation and characterization of a podophage, named Pylas, infecting this bacterium. The complete genome of phage Pylas is described, and it is distantly related to the well-studied phage N4.

ABSTRACT The bacterium Klebsiella aerogenes is an opportunistic pathogen that often infects hospitalized patients and those who are immunocompromised. K. aerogenes in some cases can become resistant to antibiotic treatment. Being a potential therapeutic, Metamorpho is a T4-like myophage targeting K. aerogenes.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a multidrug-resistant bacterium causing many severe hospital-acquired infections. Here, we describe siphophage Sweeny that infects K. pneumoniae. Of its 78 predicted protein-encoding genes, a functional assignment was given to 36 of them. Sweeny is most closely related to T1-like phages at the protein level.
