KlebPhaCol is a barrier-free open-source, expandable phage and strain collection available for your biological question of interest.

It consists of 52 Klebsiella spp. - targeting phages and 61 clinical strains of Klebsiella spp. along with their associated data (including sequences). Stocks are available for request. Learn more about the collection here.

You can also add your phages and strains to the collection, make your data immediately available, and get instant recognition via a DOI! We are committed to a 5-year revision period of the collection to publish added contributions.

Contribute, and together we can get one step closer to Phage Therapy!

How can you contribute?

We need you.

KlebPhaCol is a community-based collaborative platform. This means that you can add your Klebsiella spp. phages and strains to the collection, make your data immediately available, and get instant recognition via a DOI!


Our mission at KlebPhaCol is to accelerate the progress of Phage Therapy. Therefore, you can also request the collection for your research endeavors and share the data immediately on this platform. To ensure that this repository remains up-to-date with the latest contributions, we are committed to a comprehensive 5-year revision period of the collection resulting in a peer-reviewed publication.
