Abstract

Temperate phages play an important role in the evolution of bacteria. So far, lytic phages have been wildly reported, but there is still limited knowledge regarding temperate phages in the genome of pathogenic Staphylococcus caprae. Here we present the characteristics and genome analysis of a novel bacteriophage IME1323_01, which is the first isolated bacteriophage of S. caprae. The phage genome is a 44282-bp linear dsDNA molecule with a GC content of 34.18%, which is similar to its host. The genome of IME1323_01 is most closely related with that of temperate phage IME1318_01, whereas the homology coverage is just 34%. Genome and proteome analyses confirmed the lysogenic nature of phage IME1323_01, which encodes the typical lysogen-related proteins integrase, CI, Cro, and anti-repressor proteins. Genomic and phylogenetic analysis revealed that phage IME1323_01 is a newly discovered phage, which belongs to subfamily Azeredovirinae in the family Siphoviridae. The goal of this study is to increase our knowledge about the phages of S. caprae and expand our armamentarium against the escalating threat of pathogenic bacteria.
