Abstract
We isolated a K47-type Klebsiella pneumoniae phage from untreated hospital sewage: vB_KpnP_IME305 (GenBank no. OK149215). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) demonstrated that IME305 has a double-stranded DNA genome of 38,641 bp with 50.9% GC content. According to BLASTn comparisons, the IME305 genome sequence shares similarity with that of Klebsiella phage 6998 (97.37% identity and 95% coverage). IME305 contains 45 open reading frames (ORFs) and no rRNA, tRNA, or virulence-related gene sequences. Bioinformatic analysis showed that IME305 belongs to the phage subfamily Studiervirinae and genus Teetrevirus.
