Abstract

We describe the genomes of five lytic Klebsiella pneumoniae myophages, therapeutic candidates, that belong to the family Straboviridae and genus Jiaodavirus. The genomes ranged from 165,574 to 169,768 bp, with ca. 40% GC content, contained 289-300 coding sequences, had 15-16 tRNA genes, and no terminal repeats.

Keywords: Jiaodavirus; Klebsiella pneumoniae; Straboviridae; bacteriophages; therapeutic candidates; whole genomes.
