Multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains are one of the major causes of nosocomial infections caused by the antibiotic-resistant bacteria. There are different options for dealing with this threat, among which is the clinical application of bacteriophages. The study was aimed to isolate and describe a virulent bactriophage, having the potential for therapeutic use. The standard phage biology and bioinformatic methods were used, which included the advanced techniques for protein structure prediction (AlphaFold software), and electron microscopy. The virulent podovirus KPPK108.1, being the member of genus Drulisvirus, which is able to specifically infect the K. pneumoniae strains with the KL108 type capsular polysaccharide, has been isolated from the wastewater. The sequence of the bactriophage genome has been defined, the biological properties have been investigated, and the genetic features have been described.
