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.Microbiology resource announcementse01108-18https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC6256536biostudies-literatureGenomic Alterations of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 after Prolonged Passage in the Laboratory.PMC6256536Chin PJHung GCTsai SLiao HMLi BLo SCfalseGenomic Alterations of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 after Prolonged Passage in the Laboratory.Staphylococcus aureus reference strain ATCC 25923 has been maintained for more than a decade in our laboratory.
