Biological and genomic characteristics of two bacteriophages isolated from sewage, using one multidrug-resistant and one non-multidrug-resistant strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae

Bovine mastitis caused by multi-drug resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae is difficult to treat with antibiotics, whereas bacteriophages may be a viable alternative. Our objective was to use 2 K. pneumoniae strains, 1 MDR and the other non-MDR, to isolate phages from sewage samples and compare thei...
