Genome Sequences of 12 Phages That Infect Klebsiella pneumoniae

Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a pathogen responsible for significant proportions of nosocomial and health care-associated infections and is known to acquire multiple antibiotic resistance genes. Here, we announce the full genome sequences of 12 K. pneumoniae bacteriophages from samples collected in wastewater treatment facilities across the western United States.
