Isolation and genomic analysis of seven phages active against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

The genomic sequences of seven phages isolated from municipal sewage in Rochester, Minnesota, USA, using Klebsiella pneumoniae strains (blaKPC carriers) as hosts are reported. These phages are lytic and belong to the Ackermannviridae, Drexlerviridae, and Zobellviridae families. No known antimicrobial resistance or virulence genes were found within their genomes.
