<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> K2 capsular polysaccharide degradation by a bacteriophage depolymerase does not require trimer formation Open
K2-capsular Klebsiella pneumoniae is a hypervirulent pathogen that causes fatal infections. Here, we describe a phage tailspike protein, named K2-2, that specifically depolymerizes the K2 capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of K. pneumoniae into…
