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 74 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!

The
Collection
-
Phage Stocks
All 52 phages are available upon request, for research purposes.
25 Myophages - 23 Siphophages - 4 Podophages
-
Bacterial Strains
Most 74 clinical isolates of Klebsiella spp. used in this collection are available upon request, for research purposes.
40 ST types - 32 KL types - 10 O-antigens
-
Characterisation of Phages
Phages have been sequenced, annotated and taxonomically assigned.
-
Characterisation of Bacterial Strains
Prophage identification as well as virulence, stress, antimicrobial resistance and defense genes for all 74 clinical isolates.
-
Host Range
All 52 Klebsiella spp. infecting phages were tested against the 74 clinical isolates of Klebsiella spp.
-
Transmission Electron Microscopy
All phages have been imaged by TEM.
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 (and beyond). Therefore, you can also request the collection for your research endeavors and share the data immediately (or later) on this platform to facilitate data centralisation.
