  "summary": "Phage therapy is increasingly proposed for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, but most Klebsiella phages bind a single capsule type, so a phage is useful only where its capsule type circulates. We asked whether published phages cover the capsule types found in Pakistani patients. We typed 254 clinical K. pneumoniae genomes from Pakistan and curated the phage and depolymerase literature…",
