Genome sequence of the Klebsiella quasipneumoniae bacteriophage EKq1 with activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae.

ABSTRACT: We describe the genome of a lytic phage EKq1 isolated on Klebsiella quasipneumoniae, with activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae. EKq1 is an unclassified representative of the class Caudoviricetes, similar to Klebsiella phages VLCpiS8c, phiKp_7-2, and vB_KleS-HSE3. The 48,244-bp genome has a GC content of 56.43% and 63 predicted protein-coding genes.
