## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequences of two bacteriophages that infect drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, isolated from wastewater in Portugal.

## Contribution

The study provides new genome sequences of two Webervirus phages with potential applications in combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

## Key findings

- SF_KL2 and SF_KL25 are siphovirus phages with genome sizes of 48,737 and 49,170 bp.
- The phages were isolated from wastewater in northern Portugal.
- They target encapsulated multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

## Abstract

This report describes the genomes of Klebsiella pneumoniae phages SF_KL2 and SF_KL25, which infect the encapsulated multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae known to cause nosocomial infections. SF_KL2 and SF_KL25 belong to the genus Webervirus (siphovirus morphotype) and have genomes of 48,737 and 49,170 bp, respectively. The phages were isolated from wastewater in northern Portugal.
