Description

This report describes the genomes of Klebsiella pneumoniae phages SF_KL2 and SF_KL25, which infect the encapsulated multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae known to cause nosocomial infections. SF_KL2 and SF_KL25 belong to the genus Webervirus (siphovirus morphotype) and have genomes of 48,737 and 49,170 bp, respectively. The phages were isolated from wastewater in northern Portugal.
