History. Discovery. In 1880, Alexander Ogston, a Scottish surgeon, discovered that Staphylococcus can cause wound infections after noticing groups of bacteria in pus from a surgical abscess during a procedure he was performing. He named it Staphylococcus after its clustered appearance evident under a microscope.
In 1884 Anton J. Rosenbach (1842-1923), a German surgeon, isolated two strains of staphylococci, which he named for the pigmented appearance of their colonies: Staphylococcus aureus, from the Latin aurum for gold, and Staphylococcus albus (now called epidermidis), from the Latin albus for white (5).
12 Οκτ 2024 · The name staphylococcus, in fact, is derived from the Greek words staphulē, meaning “bunch of grapes,” and kokkos, meaning “berry.” The word aureus is Latin and means “golden,” which refers to the bacteria’s pigmentation.
8 Μαρ 2017 · Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium and causative agent of wide range of infectious diseases such as skin infections, bacteremia, endocarditis, pneumonia and food poisoning. The organism was originally a leading nosocomial pathogen and afterwards epidemiologically distinct clones emerged in community settings.
Many colonial characteristics were attributed in naming the genus or species of prokaryotes that can grow on artificial culture media. For example, in Staphylococcus aureus, the species name aureus points towards the golden colonies seen on culture medium, and in the Latin language, aurum means gold.
17 Δεκ 2020 · Staphylococcus aureus ST45 is a major global MRSA lineage with huge strain diversity and a high clinical impact. It is one of the most prevalent carrier lineages but also frequently causes severe invasive disease, such as bacteremia.
In 1884, German physician Friedrich Julius Rosenbach differentiated the bacteria by the color of their colonies: S. aureus (from the Latin aurum, gold) and S. albus (Latin for white). S. albus was later renamed S. epidermidis because of its ubiquity on human skin.
