Characterization of phage resistance and phages capable of intestinal decolonization of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in mice
Fang et al. characterized two previously unidentified phage species that could inhibit growth and decrease virulence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). They also showed that CRKP develop phage resistance but could still be decolonized in a mouse intestinal colonization model, high...
