Highly stable bacteriophages PIN1 and PIN2 have hallmarks of flagellotropic phages but infect immotile bacteria

Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that kill bacteria, with potential as antibacterial agents in industrial settings, agriculture, and human health. Here, we identified two phages, PIN1 and PIN2, that can kill clinical isolates of the human pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae. The phages are highly stab...
