Staphylococcus aureus - Microbiology
Staphylococcus aureus appears as a Gram-positive coccus, in grape-like clusters when viewed through a microscope and as large, round, golden-yellow colonies, often with β-hemolysis, when grown on blood agar plates. Hence, the word "aureus" which means gold in latin. S. aureus can be differentiated from most other staphylococci by the coagulase test. S. aureus is coagulase-positive, while most other staphylococci are coagulase-negative. S. aureus is also catalase positive and thus able to convert hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to water and oxygen, which makes the Catalase test useful to distinguish S. aureus from S. faecalis.
The species has been subdivided into two subspecies: S. aureus aureus and S. aureus anaerobius. The latter requires anaerobic conditions for growth, is an infrequent cause of infection, and is rarely encountered in the laboratory.

Sneak-Peek of Global Oneness Community
Hi friend! The Global Oneness Community, the place for information and sharing about Oneness is not really launched yet (you will see there is still some clean up to do) ...but it is now open for a sneak-peek! And if you wish - please register and become one of the very first members to do so! Jonas
