Complete genome sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage Knedl.

Bacteriophage Knedl is the first reported Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage that targets the Psl exopolysaccharide as receptor. Here, we report the genome of Knedl, demonstrating that it belongs to the genus Iggyvirus of the Queuovirinae subfamily. Future studies on the infection mechanism of Knedl could inform phage-based approaches to eradicate biofilms.
