Abstract

Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a common bacterial pathogen in companion animal medicine and has demonstrated zoonotic potential. Here, we report six new Staphylococcus pseudintermedius prophage genomes of the Siphoviridae family, identified in isolates recovered from human and canine clinical specimens.
