Abstract

Abstract: 【Objective】 Using the bovine-derived carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate KLB-04 (K57 type) as the host strain,this study aimed to isolate a highly lytic phage targeting this bacterium and analyze its biochemical characteristics and whole genome,so as to provide a scientific basis for the clinical application of Klebsiella pneumoniae phages and the development of phage-derived proteins. 【Method】 The lytic phage was isolated from sewage using the double-layer agar method.Transmission electron microscopy,host range analysis,pH tolerance and temperature stability tests,determination of the optimal multiplicity of infection,one-step growth curve assay,and whole-genome sequencing were employed to investigate the morphological,biological,and genomic characteristics of the isolated phage. 【Result】 A lytic bacteriophage strain was isolated and designated as GXKP01.GXKP01 formed plaques with an average diameter of approximately 3 mm,surrounded by a halo measuring about 2 mm in width.Transmission electron microscopy revealed that GXKP01 possessed a head-tail structure,with the head being a regular icosahedron approximately 60 nm in diameter and the tail measuring between 15-20 nm in length,which belonged to the subfamily Studiervirinae and the genus Przondovirus.The latent period of GXKP01 infection in KLB-04 was approximately 10 min,with a complete infection cycle lasting around 70 min.Each infected bacterium produced approximately 136 progeny phage particles.Phage GXKP01 could only cleave the host bacterium KLB-04,with strong specificity.Additionally,GXKP01 demonstrated remarkable stability across a wide range of temperatures (4-60 ℃) and pH levels (pH 3.0-12.0).Genomic analysis revealed that GXKP01’s genome consisted of double-stranded linear DNA with a length of 39 795 bp,a GC content of 53.13%,and contained 44 coding genes.Notably,GXKP01 did not carry any virulence factors and antibiotic-resistance genes,confirming its genetic safety. 【Conclusion】 This study isolated a lytic phage capable of targeting K57-type carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae,laying a foundation for future phage-based prevention and treatment of infections caused by hypervirulent,drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.
