Abstract
Here, we report the genome sequence of a Siphoviridae phage named vB_SauS_BaqSau1 (BaqSau1), infecting Staphylococcus aureus Phage BaqSau1 was isolated from a sewage water treatment plant in Sahagún, Córdoba, Colombia. It has a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome of 44,384 bp with 67 predicted genes, including a lysin containing a CHAP (cysteine, histidine-dependent amidohydrolase/peptidase) domain.
Highlights
We report the genome sequence of a Siphoviridae phage named vB_SauS_BaqSau[1] (BaqSau1), infecting Staphylococcus aureus
BaqSau[1] is a new member of the Siphoviridae family (Fig. 1B); its genome consists of a double-stranded DNA molecule of 44,384 bp with an overall GϩC content of 34.05%
Average nucleotide identity (ANI) (9, 10) analysis of BaqSau[1] with other Staphylococcus phages revealed that it has over 90% nucleotide sequence identity with members of the Phietavirus genus (11)
Summary
We report the genome sequence of a Siphoviridae phage named vB_SauS_BaqSau[1] (BaqSau1), infecting Staphylococcus aureus. Lozano-Solano et al FIG 1 Plaque appearance (A) and virion morphology (B) of bacteriophage vB_SauS_BaqSau[1]. The plaques were obtained as described in the text.
