Lytic Phages against ST11 K47 Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and the Corresponding Phage Resistance Mechanisms

ABSTRACT We isolated and characterized a novel phage from hospital sewage, P13, able to lyse ST11 K47 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP), a major CRKP lineage. P13 formed a large lytic plaque (3.0 to 6.0 mm in diameter) in double-layer LB agar after overnight coculture with its host b...
