Staphylococcus phage sp. Genome sequencing and assembly

The phages of staphylococci have profound impacts on staphylococcal evolution and pathogenesis and harbor potential for use in therapeutic applications. The overarching goal of this study is to discover and meticulously characterize diverse staphylococcal phages for use in basic research endeavors and therapeutic applications. This Bioproject focuses on characterizing a unique class of staphylococcal siphoviruses that appear to be strictly lytic and thus harbor high therapeutic potential.
