Isolation, characterization, and genomic analysis of a novel bacteriophage vB_Kp_XP4 targeting hypervirulent and multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

IntroductionHypervirulent and multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP and MDR-KP) are significant public health threats. This study aimed to isolate a lytic bacteriophage targeting these high-risk strains, systematically characterize its biological properties, genomic features, and therapeut...
