Abstract
In this study, the genome of a new strain of lytic Staphylococcus aureus Herelleviridae, vBSM-A1, was characterized and annotated. The phage was isolated from sewage samples collected in Xinjiang Province, China. The genome of vBSM-A1 was found to comprise a linear double-stranded DNA of 140,654 bp length, with a G + C content of 30.33%. A total of 215 ORFs were detected in the phage DNA, 74 of which were functionally assigned. The 3D structure model of endolysin LysK (ORF 143) was created using Phyre2.
