Definitely a team effort to get this one out. :)

We've isolated a novel phage that can disrupt established biofilms ... but it doesn't encode a depolymerase or exhibit depolymerase activity. I think this one is going to keep us busy for a long time.

Phage vB_KmiS-Kmi2C infects members of the Klebsiella oxytoca complex and represents a novel genus of lytic bacteriophage biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20
