# Complete genome sequence of the Klebsiella oxytoca phage vB_KoxiM_BaqKoxi isolated from the Magdalena River, Atlántico, Colombia

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a phage that infects antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella oxytoca, isolated from a river in Colombia.

## Contribution

The study provides a new phage genome with potential applications in combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

## Key findings

- BaqKoxi has a 72,063 bp double-stranded DNA genome.
- The genome includes 98 coding sequences, including two depolymerases and a capsular depolymerase.
- The phage is temperate and infects an antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella oxytoca strain.

## Abstract

We report the genome of vB_KoxiM_BaqKoxi (BaqKoxi), a temperate phage infecting an antibiotic-resistant strain of Klebsiella oxytoca, isolated from the Magdalena River in Barranquilla, Colombia. BaqKoxi contains a linear 72,063 bp dsDNA genome with 98 coding DNA sequences (CDS), including two depolymerases with complementary activities, a pectate lyase, and a capsular depolymerase.
