A phage with the ability to efficiently and specifically lyse bacteria is considered an alternative for controlling multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. The discovery of novel agents for controlling the infections caused by <i>K. pneumoniae</i> is urgent due to the broad multidrug-resistance of <i>K. pneumoniae</i>. Only a few phage isolates have been reported to infect multidrug-resistant <i>K. p ...[more]
