Characterization of a virulent phage, P12L (genus Drulisvirus), targeting Klebsiella pneumoniae capsule type K2
A virulent bacteriophage, P12L, infecting hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae of capsule-type K2 was characterized. The phage was found to have podovirus-like morphology, with an icosahedral head and a short tail. It exhibited efficient adsorption with a burst size of 183 PFU/cell. The viral genome is a linear dsDNA molecule that is 42,343 bp in length and contains 62 putative open reading frames (ORFs). It lacks genes associated with drug resistance or virulence factors and encodes two predicted domains associated with depolymerase activity. Because depolymerase can degrade polysaccharide capsules and promote efficient phage-host interactions, phage P12L shows potential as a biocontrol agent.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Virology publishes original contributions from all branches of research on viruses, virus-like agents, and virus infections of humans, animals, plants, insects, and bacteria. Coverage spans a broad spectrum of topics, from descriptions of newly discovered viruses, to studies of virus structure, composition, and genetics, to studies of virus interactions with host cells, organisms and populations. Studies employ molecular biologic, molecular genetics, and current immunologic and epidemiologic approaches. Contents include studies on the molecular pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and genetics of virus infections in individual hosts, and studies on the molecular epidemiology of virus infections in populations. Also included are studies involving applied research such as diagnostic technology development, monoclonal antibody panel development, vaccine development, and antiviral drug development.Archives of Virology wishes to publish obituaries of recently deceased well-known virologists and leading figures in virology.
