Introduction

Staphylococcus aureus is a gram positive bacteria that belongs to the micrococcae family and appears in the form of cocci clusters. It differs from other staphylococcus because it appears with gold pigmentation. The bacteria also tests positive for coagulase, mannitol-fermentation, and deoxyribonuclease. The bacteria was first discovered by Alexander Ogston in 1880 when he became interested in the high post surgery mortality rates, and was later named by Friedrich Julius Rosenbach. More commonly referred to as a “staph infection” or “staph bacteria”, S. aureus is reportedly found in 30% of the population who are asymptomatic nasal carriers, while another large portion carry the bacteria on their skin.
