Abstrakt: In light of the ever-increasing number of multidrug-resistant bacteria worldwide, bacteriophages are becoming a valid alternative to antibiotics; therefore, their interactions with host bacteria must be thoroughly investigated. Here, we report genome-wide transcriptional changes in a clinical Staphylococcus aureus SA515 strain for three time points after infection with the vB_SauM-515A1 kayvirus. Using an RNA sequencing approach, we identify 263 genes that were differentially expressed (DEGs) between phage-infected and uninfected host samples. Most of the DEGs were identified at an early stage of phage infection and were mainly involved in nucleotide and amino acid metabolism, as well as in cell death prevention. At the subsequent infection stages, the vast majority of DEGs were upregulated. Interestingly, 39 upregulated DEGs were common between the 15th and 30th minutes post-infection, and a substantial number of them belonged to the prophages. Furthermore, some virulence factors were overexpressed at the late infection stage, which necessitates more stringent host strain selection requirements for further use of bacteriophages for therapeutic purposes. Thus, this work allows us to better understand the influence of kayviruses on the metabolic systems of S. aureus and contributes to a better comprehension of phage therapy.
