  "abstract": "Objectives: Given the treatment delays inherent in reactive phage matching, we aimed to develop a preparedness-oriented strategy linking genomic surveillance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) to targeted phage-resource development and rational cocktail design. Methods: We analysed >64,000 K. pneumoniae genomes to characterize the geographical and temporal representation of KL types within the genomic dataset. Phages were isolated and prioritized according to host-range profiles, genomic nonredundancy, receptor-binding protein diversity and morphology. Quantitative inhibition profiling and principal component analysis guided the selection of candidate combinations targeting KL64 isolates, followed by in vitro , in vivo, and resistance analyses. Results: A limited number of KL types were frequently represented among the analysed CRKP genomes and showed regional variation. From a nonredundant repository of 33 phages, 10 were selected to target 10 frequently represented KL types. In a KL64 clinical isolate panel, selected combinations broadened and prolonged bacterial suppression. The phage cocktail significantly prolonged survival in mice under lethal CRKP challenge and phage-resistant derivatives showed restored susceptibility to multiple antibiotics. Conclusions: This study presents a framework for using genomic data to prioritize phage-resource development and guide cocktail design for KL-defined CRKP groups.",
