Yet the bacterial genetic determinants that govern phage-host specificity and infection success remain poorly understood, particularly in clinically and ecologically important genera such as\n                    <jats:italic>Klebsiella<\/jats:italic>\n                    where prior receptor characterization has been almost entirely limited to capsulated strains. Here we used a randomly barcoded, genome-wide, loss-of-function transposon mutant library (RB-TnSeq) of\n                    <jats:italic>Klebsiella<\/jats:italic>\n                    sp. M5al, a naturally acapsular, nitrogen-fixing rhizobacterium, to generate the first systematic, cross-family map of phage receptor gene dependencies in\n                    <jats:italic>Klebsiella<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Challenging the library against 25 double-stranded DNA phages spanning five families in 213 parallel assays, we identified 42 bacterial genes associated with phage infection, of which 15 had no prior association with phage infection in any bacterial system. Disruption of surface receptor biosynthesis genes conferred cross-resistance across multiple phage families, while intracellular gene disruptions had predominantly phage-specific effects. Clonal validation of eight genes confirmed LPS outer core biosynthesis genes as primary receptor determinants alongside additional host factors spanning outer membrane transport, cofactor biosynthesis, and two-component signaling. Comparative analysis across all 25 phages revealed that phage genus rather than family is the stronger predictor of host gene dependency profiles, a finding with direct implications for the functional annotation of uncharacterized phage isolates and rational phage cocktail design. Together, these findings provide a community resource for linking phage genomic diversity to functional host interaction space in this ecologically and clinically important genus.\n
