Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae infection is a serious concern in hospital settings due to the continuing emergence of multidrug-resistant strains. The study of K. pneumoniae phages may help the development of new treatment strategies. Here, the complete genome sequence of K. pneumoniae phage Patroon, a T3/T7-like phage, is presented.
Highlights
Klebsiella pneumoniae infection is a serious concern in hospital settings due to the continuing emergence of multidrug-resistant strains
The C-terminal receptor-binding domain is related to only a few other phage tail fibers based on BLASTp alignment, including those of coliphage ECA2 (GenBank accession number ANN86232) and Yersinia sp. phage phiYeO3-12 (GenBank accession number NP_052117)
The genome sequence of phage Patroon was submitted to GenBank under accession number MK608335
Summary
Klebsiella pneumoniae infection is a serious concern in hospital settings due to the continuing emergence of multidrug-resistant strains. The Patroon genome was assembled into a complete contig of 39,442 bp at 596.8-fold coverage. It contains 51 predicted coding sequences, with a coding density of 89% and a GC content of 50.54%. At the DNA level, Patroon is most similar (87% to 88%) to other T7-like enterobacterial phages, such as Escherichia coliphage ECA2 (GenBank accession number KX130726), Yersinia sp.
