S. aureus *commonly found* | nose, but also known to inhabit the skin and vagina |
S. aureus *characteristics* | nonmotile, facultatively anaerobic, β-hemolytic, gram positive coccus. |
S. aureus *testing results* | positive for the slide coagulase test, tube coagulase test, and DNAse. It can grow in media containing up to 10% NaCl. Diagnostic procedures procedures include Gram stain, appropriate-site aerobic culture and teichoic acid antibody test |
S. aureus *virulence factors* | antiphagocytic proteins, lipase production, coagulase, enterotoxins, and exotoxins |
S. aureus *epidemiology* | Primary reservoir, Nares, Other reservoirs, Axillae, vagina, pharynx, and other skin surfaces, Hospital outbreaks, Nurseries, Burn units, Surgical patients, |
S. aureus *infections* | transmitted by direct human-to-human contact, aerosols, or environmental factors. Causes toxic shock syndrome, food poisoning, scalded skin syndrome, and abscesses virtually anywhere in the body. |
