Genome sequences unveil potential therapeutic phages for antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis infections.
Staphylococci are opportunistic pathogens that cause a variety of antibiotic-resistant infections, and staphylococcal viruses (phages) can be harnessed as alternative therapeutics. Here, we report genome sequences of six Staphylococcus epidermidis phages with siphovirus morphology that lack proteins associated with virulence and lysogeny. Our observations suggest potential uses in therapeutic applications.
