Draft genome sequence of a Klebsiella pneumoniae virulent bacteriophage vB_KpBD_211 isolated from wastewater in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Mst. Morioum Sarkar, Tasnimul Arabi Anik, Sangita Ahmed
TL;DR
This paper presents the genome sequence of a bacteriophage that infects a harmful bacteria found in Bangladesh wastewater and could help treat antibiotic-resistant infections.
Contribution
The paper provides a new genome sequence of a phage with potential therapeutic use against multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Findings
The phage vB_KpBD_211 has a 47,938 bp double-stranded DNA genome with 57.05% GC content.
The genome was assembled using Illumina MiSeq data and lacks virulence or antibiotic resistance genes.
The phage shows potential for use in treating multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae infections.
Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae phage vB_KpBD_211, isolated from wastewater in Dhaka, Bangladesh, has a 47,938 bp double-stranded DNA genome (57.05% GC), assembled from Illumina MiSeq data, and lacks virulence or antibiotic resistance genes, supporting its potential in MDR K. pneumoniae therapy.
