Molecular Characterization of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Nasal Colonization and Infection Isolates in a Veterans Affairs Hospital Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) belongs to the genus Staphylococcus. It is Gram-positive‚ cocci shaped anaerobic bacteria that forms clusters and produces catalase‚ which catalyzes hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. It contains a cell wall structure (including peptidoglycan and teichoic acid) and a low G + C content of DNA between 30-40 mol

It is also known as the most important bacteria’s that cause disease in people. Staph was first found in the 1800’s in Aberdeen‚ United Kingdom‚ by the surgeon Sir Alexander Ogston. He found the bacteria in pus from a surgical Abscess

If the antibacterial protein is isolated and is proved non-cytotoxic to humans‚ then it can be researched and developed further as a drug for curing various diseases caused by Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus ailments in human beings and thus give an impetus to further research on being used as model organisms to be studied. 5.2 DEFINITION OF THE PROBLEM: Treating every bacterial-caused disease

Survey of Nasal Carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in Microbiology 1 Students at RMIT Aim: To determine the carriage rate of Staphylococcus aureus in the nares of students taking second year microbiology courses at RMIT. Introduction: Carriage of S.aureus is important in hospital patients‚ preoperative patients‚ hospital staff‚ food handlers etc. because it carriage of S.aureus appears to play a key role in the epidemiology and pathogenesis of infection. S.aureus can cause localized and invasive
