Bacteriophage Knedl is the first reported phage that targets the Psl exopolysaccharide as receptor. Here, we report the genome of Knedl, demonstrating that it belongs to the genus of the subfamily. Future studies on the infection mechanism of Knedl could inform phage-based approaches to eradicate biofilms.
噬菌体Knedl是首个被报道以Psl胞外多糖为受体的噬菌体。在此,我们报道了Knedl的基因组,证明它属于该亚科的一个属。未来对Knedl感染机制的研究可为基于噬菌体的生物膜根除方法提供信息。
