About paper
Funding: the study was conducted under the State Assignment “Development of a Complex Treatment Regimen for Drug-Resistant Pathogens Causing Infectious Diseases Using Bacteriophages and their Derivatives in Combination with Antimicrobial Drugs” (code: Bacteriophage-2). The Klebsiella pneumoniae strain typing was supported by the Russian Science Foundation grant (№ 22-15-00149, https://rscf.ru/project/22-15-00149/).
Acknowledgements: the whole-genome sequencing data were acquired using the equipment provided by the Core Facility Center “Genomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics” (http://rcpcm.org/?p=2806).
