Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Tailed bacteriophages with double-stranded DNA genomes (class Caudoviricetes ) play an important role in the evolution of bacterial pathogenicity, both as carriers of genes encoding virulence factors and as the main means of horizontal transfer of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in many bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus . The S. aureus pathogenicity islands (SaPIs), including SaPI1, are...
