  2. Staphylococcus aureus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus

    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. Staphylococcal infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcal_infection

    Staphylococcus scalded skin syndrome – Staphylococcus scalded skin syndrome is caused by toxins produced when a staph infection gets too severe. It is characterized by a fever, rash, and blisters. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) – MRSA is one of the most common antibiotic-resistant strains of staph bacteria. It is more ...

  4. ESKAPE - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESKAPE

    ESKAPE is an acronym comprising the scientific names of six highly virulent and antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens including: Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp. [1] The acronym is sometimes extended to ESKAPEE to include Escherichia coli. [2]

  5. Staphylococcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus

    Staphylococcus species are facultative anaerobes (capable of growth both aerobically and anaerobically). [15] All species grow in the presence of bile salts. All strains of Staphylococcus aureus were once thought to be coagulase-positive, but this has since been disproven. [16] [17] [18] Growth can also occur in a 6.5% NaCl solution. [15]

  6. Staphylococcal enteritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcal_enteritis

    S. aureus bacteria can live on the skin which is one of the primary modes of transmission. S. aureus can cause a range of illnesses from minor skin infections to Staphylococcus aureus food poisoning enteritis. Since humans are the primary source, cross-contamination is the most common way the microorganism is introduced into foods. Foods at ...

This genus covers a large group of gram-positive bacteria that are classified taxonomically in the family Staphylococcaceae, order Bacillales, class Bacilli, and phylum Firmicutes.

  8. ST8:USA300 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST8:USA300

    ST8:USA300 is a strain of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus that has emerged as a particularly antibiotic resistant epidemic that is responsible for rapidly progressive, fatal diseases including necrotizing pneumonia, severe sepsis and necrotizing fasciitis. [1]

  9. Swimming pool bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimming_Pool_Bacteria

    Staphylococcus aureus levels are not monitored despite the detection of the bacteria in recreational waters (and on beaches). [10] The authors of a 2023 study recommended levels of bacteria of 0 CFU /100 mL for water of excellent quality, less than 20 CFU/100 mL for water of very good quality, less than 50 CFU/100 mL for good quality water, and ...
