Description Given the great biological and clinical importance of staphylococcal siphoviruses, the staphylococcal bacteriophage collection was established in 2010 by extending the CCM in the Czech Republic. About forty S. aureus siphophage strains coding for ETA or PVL, phages exhibiting transducing properties or applicable for phage typing were characterized in detail up to now and being maintained. A database for computer storage and handling bacteriophage strain data has been developed on the basis of standardized format for plasmids, viruses and transposons (PVT) published previously (Vincente et al., World J. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 8:519-526) and extended by fields concerning phage genome module properties. The database is designed to allow storage a variety of data and cross-reference with that concerning propagating, selection, host and lysogenic bacterial strains records in MINE (Microbial Information Network Europe). The database will be available to the public on the Web from January 2011.
