Genome Sequence of the Siphoviridae Staphylococcus aureus Phage vB_SauS_BaqSau1

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.

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.
