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.

The plaques were obtained as described in the text. For electron microscopy, a high-titer lysate was applied on Formvar-coated grids, negatively stained with 2% uranyl acetate, and imaged with a Zeiss EM-109 transmission electron microscope (Carl Zeiss AG); the capsid size is approximately 44 nm.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
