Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative bacterium associated with the gastrointestinal tract and is a significant nosocomial pathogen due to its antibiotic resistance. Phage therapy against K. pneumoniae may prove useful in treating infections caused by this bacterium. This announcement describes the genome of the T5-like K. pneumoniae siphophage Sugarland.
