Phage vB_Kpn_HF0522: Isolation, Characterization, and Therapeutic Potential in Combatting K1 Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections by Yan T, Wang Q, Ma C, Teng X, Gong Z, Chu W, Zhou Q, Liu Z

“…The bacterial growth rate remained largely unchanged after the phage resistance mutation, but mice infected with the mutant strain showed significantly higher survival rates than those infected with the wild-type strain. vB_Kpn_HF0522 increased the survival rate of infected G. mellonella from 12.5% to 75%, inhibited incisional surgical site infections and alleviated inflammatory response in mice.Conclusion: These findings indicate that vB_Kpn_HF0522 has significant potential for treating specific bacterial infections, and may serve as an antimicrobial agent for research and clinical anti-infective therapy.Keywords: phage vB_Kpn_HF0522, phage therapy, Klebsiella pneumoniae, phage resistance, incisional surgical site infection, biofilm…”
