Isolation and characterization of bacteriophage against clinical isolates of AmpC beta lactamase–Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae from hospital wastewater
The AmpC-phages were abundant in hospital wastewater, and HWW was a good source for AmpC-KP phages. The isolated AmpC phages had a high effectivity and specificity for AmpC-KP with a narrow host range and could survive under harsh conditions such as (temperature, pH, and chloroform).
