Abstract

ABSTRACT We present genome sequences of four lytic bacteriophages targeting multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. The bacteriophages belong to the genera Taipeivirus , Drulisvirus , Przondovirus , and Webervirus . These phages exhibit promising lytic activity against MDR K. pneumoniae clinical isolates. The genomes of the bacteriophages ranged in size from 15,773 to 166,437 bp.
