Genomic Alterations of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 after Prolonged Passage in the Laboratory.

ABSTRACT: Staphylococcus aureus reference strain ATCC 25923 has been maintained for more than a decade in our laboratory. Genomic study revealed that the resulting strain AFIPCBER_B_8.4 has lost a 37-kb genomic fragment of the ATCC 25923 parental strain. The missing fragment showed sequence similarity to genes of bacteriophage proteins.
