Isolation and genomic characterization of Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophages from Chennai, India.

We isolated and characterized two lytic bacteriophages against Staphylococcus aureus named TANUVAS_MVC-VPHSA1 and TANUVAS_MVC-VPHSA2, with the aim of investigating their genomic and structural features. The bacteriophages belong to the Caudoviricetes, and their genomes have sizes of 50,505 and 50,516 base pairs with a GC content of 41.4%.
