KPP-X1, a new virulent Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteriophage, was isolated from sewage samples and sequenced. The 146,898-bp genome has 251 predicted genes. The genome of KPP-X1 does not contain lysogeny-related elements, resistance genes, or virulence factors and encodes abundant tRNAs, making it a promising candidate for phage therapy.
