Revised Genome Sequence of Staphylococcus aureus Bacteriophage K

Abstract

Bacteriophage K is a member of the virulent Twort-like group of myophages infecting Staphylococcus aureus . The revised sequence presented here includes 12,436 bp of additional sequence not present in the previously available phage K genome (GenBank accession no. NC_005880) and updated annotations, and has been reopened at the predicted terminal repeat boundary.
