Biology
Members of the genus infect Staphylococcus sp. mainly S. aureus.
Derivation of names
Kayvirus: derived phonetically from the name of the exemplar isolate, Staphylococcus phage K, of the type species.
Species demarcation criteria
Members of the same species are more than 95% identical in genome nucleotide sequence, including the terminal repeat region. Phages with genomes that differ by more than 5% are assigned to different species.
