Here, we report the genome sequences of five bacteriophages isolated from hospital wastewater, including two new species and two candidates for therapeutic application. No virulence, temperate marker and antibiotic resistance genes were found in the genomes of Escherichia phage vB_VIPECOOM03 and Klebsiella phage vB_VIPKPNUMC01, making them suitable candidate for therapy.
