Structure. Staphylococci are Gram-positive cocci about 0.5 – 1.0 μm in diameter. They grow in clusters, pairs and occasionally in short chains. The clusters arise because staphylococci divide in two planes. The configuration of the cocci helps to distinguish micrococci and staphylococci from streptococci, which usually grow in chains.
17 Ιουλ 2023 · Staphylococcus aureus is Gram-positive bacteria (stain purple by Gram stain) that are cocci-shaped and tend to be arranged in clusters that are described as “grape-like.” On media, these organisms can grow in up to 10% salt, and colonies are often golden or yellow (aureus means golden or yellow).
Staphylococci have emerged as important pathogens for both nosocomial and community-acquired infections in people. For example, USA300 is a predominant community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus strain; it carries an arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME) which contains potential virulence factors playing a role in bacterial ...
