Abstract

We report the genome of a phage that belongs to the Przondovirus genus, which was isolated from sewage, and is capable of lysing ST23 KL1-type carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains. The genome is 39,059 bp in length, with a GC content of 53.11%, consisting of 55 protein-coding sequences and no tRNAs.
