The Mutation in <i>wbaP cps</i> Gene Cluster Selected by Phage-Borne Depolymerase Abolishes Capsule Production and Diminishes the Virulence of <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>

<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> is considered one of the most critical multidrug-resistant pathogens and urgently requires new therapeutic strategies. Capsular polysaccharides (CPS), lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and exopolysaccharides (EPS) are the major virulence factors protecting <i>...
