17 Ιουλ 2023 · Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive bacteria that cause a wide variety of clinical diseases. Infections caused by this pathogen are common both in community-acquired and hospital-acquired settings.
Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen that causes a wide range of clinical infections. It is a leading cause of bacteremia and infective endocarditis as well as osteoarticular, skin and soft tissue, pleuropulmonary, and device-related infections.

Definition / general. Gram stain: positive. Morphology: cocci in clusters. Facultative anaerobe. Part of normal flora of skin, mucus membranes, nasal passages. Terminology. Greek "Staphyle" (grape) + coccus, referring to grape cluster-like morphology on Gram stain. Sites. Staphylococcal food poisoning. Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome.
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.
It includes sixteen chapters that address the microbiology and immunology of S. aureus, the pathology of its key manifestations, and the current standard of care. Further, it reviews cutting-edge advances in alternative therapeutic and prophylactic approaches to antibiotics.
PATHOGENESIS. Infections occur frequently as a consequence of S. aureus inoculation into an open wound. Alternatively, in the upper airway, viral infection damages mucosal linings and predisposes the host to S. aureus pneumonia, which classically presents a week after onset of influenza infection.
