Bacteria in the genus Staphylococcus are pathogens of man and other mammals. Traditionally they were divided into two groups on the basis of their ability to clot blood plasma (the coagulase reaction). The coagulase-positive staphylococci constitute the most pathogenic species S aureus.
One of the hallmarks of S. aureus is its ability to coagulate blood , allowing for clinical differentiation of S. aureus from coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CoNS) such as S. epidermidis . S. aureus secretes two soluble coagulases that interact with prothrombin to catalyze conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin ( McAdow et al., 2012b ).
Shape: Staphylococcus aureus is a spherical bacterium, commonly referred to as a coccus. The cocci can appear as individual cells or in clusters. Arrangement: Staphylococcus bacteria are known for their characteristic arrangement in grape-like clusters.
23 Ιουν 2022 · Cultural characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococci grow readily on most bacteriologic media under aerobic or microaerophilic conditions. Colonies on solid media are round, smooth, raised, and glistening. S. aureus usually forms gray to deep golden yellow colonies.
Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive spherically shaped bacterium, a member of the Bacillota, and is a usual member of the microbiota of the body, frequently found in the upper respiratory tract and on the skin. It is often positive for catalase and nitrate reduction and is a facultative anaerobe, meaning that it can grow without oxygen. [1]
3 Μαΐ 2023 · Staphylococcus aureus, a Gram-positive, coagulase-positive pathogen belonging to the family Staphylococcaceae with a spherical shape that forms grape-like clusters, is a commensal that is...
There are only a few species of Staphylococcus that are positive for the coagulase test (see table below), and S. aureus is the most common. Since there are 2 kinds of coagulase enzyme—bound and free---there are 2 different tests that can be used to identify these enzymes.
