Abstract:
Klebsiella pneumoniae(K.pneumoniae)is important zoonotic pathogen causing multiple local and systemic infections.At present,the drug resistance of K.pneumoniae is serious,and mul-tiple drug-resistant strains continue to emerge.Even the incidence of drug-resistant K.pneumoniae infection is increasing year by year.In this study,K.pneumoniae clinical isolate 71Y was used as the starting strain,and a phage with strong lytic activity was successfully obtained from sewage samples.The phage was named vB_KpnP_71Y(abbreviated as P71Y),the general biological char-acteristics and genome of P71Y were further studied and analyzed.P71Y can form clear plaque with a diameter of 2-5 mm and a translucent halo ring on the host bacterium 71Y lawn.Electron micros-copy observation shows that P71Y is a member of the order Autographiviridae and family Caudovi-rales.The incubation period for P71Y infected with K.pneumoniae is about 3 minutes,and one in-fection cycle lasts for about 50 minutes.Each infection of a bacterium can produce approximately 58 progeny phage virus particles.Cleavage spectra showed that the phage could lysate K20 and K57 serotypes of K.pneumoniae.The phage had good stability at 4-50 ℃ and pH values of 3-12.Genom-ic analysis revealed that P71Y contained a double-stranded DNA with a total length of 39 700 bp and a G+C content of 53％.There are a total of 53 coding genes,P71Y does not carry virulence factors and drug resistance genes,which has shown genetic safety.This study isolated a novel lytic phage that can cleave multiple serotypes of K.pneumoniae,which provided experimental materials for the study of the interaction between bacteriophages,different serotypes of K.pneumoniae,and the application of phage for the prevention and controlling of infections caused by multi-drug-re-sistant K.pneumoniae.
