Genomic epidemiology of Ukraine conflict-associated Klebsiella pneumoniae reveals the emergence of a high-risk clone with a hybrid virulence-resistance plasmid vulnerable to lytic phages

S. K. Green, Maha Niazi, А. П. Казмирчук, Olha Rubchuk, Olena Sanko, Viktor Tretiakov, Alessandra Carattoli, Pierre Bogaerts, Régis Tournebize, Valérie Lannoy, Catherine Eckert, Elisa D’Aliesio, Pieter‐Jan Ceyssens, Diana Isabela Costescu Strachinaru, Griet Steurs, , Jean‐Paul Pirnay

Predicting clinical phage therapy outcomes in vitro: results using mixed versus single isolates from an MRSA case study

Meaghan Castledine, Chloe Esom, Brieuc Van Nieuwenhuyse, Sarah Djebara, Maya Merabishvili, Jean‐Paul Pirnay, Angus G. J. Buckling

This study compares phage therapy outcomes using mixed versus single bacterial isolates from an MRSA case study, finding mixed isolates better predict lung infection outcomes than blood infection outcomes.
