Researchers from Ain Shams University Describe Research in Staphylococcus aureus [Characterization and complete genome sequence of highly lytic phage active against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from Egypt].

Researchers from Ain Shams University have characterized a lytic phage, vB_SauP_ASUmrsa123, active against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from Egypt. The phage was found to be a potential alternative to antibiotics for treating MRSA infections. The study involved whole genome sequencing and host range determination of the phage, providing valuable information on phages belonging to the staphylococcal phages class I.
