Complete genome sequence of a novel multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae phage, vB_Kpn_IME260

Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae is the most common clinically important opportunistic bacterial pathogen and its infection is often iatrogenic. Its drug resistance poses a grave threat to public health. The genomic data reported here comprise an important resource for research on phage therapy in the control of drug-resistant bacteria.
