Overview

What is Staphylococcus aureus?

Staphylococcus aureus is a common commensal and opportunistic pathogen causing skin, wound and bloodstream infections; methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA) are a major clinical challenge.

It produces a wide array of toxins (enterotoxins, TSST-1, alpha-haemolysin) and surface proteins. Antibodies, recombinant toxins and ELISA kits support virulence, food-safety and vaccine research.

Transmission & symptoms

Staphylococcus aureus is a common commensal and versatile opportunistic pathogen, causing skin and wound infections, pneumonia, bacteraemia and toxin-mediated syndromes. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is a major healthcare and community concern.

Diagnosis & serology

Diagnosis is culture-based with molecular resistance testing; research and food-safety work use immunoassays for staphylococcal enterotoxins, TSST-1 and other virulence factors, plus anti-S. aureus antibody responses.

Research applications

Research tools cover S. aureus toxins and their host targets (the alpha-toxin receptor ADAM10), innate recognition (TLR2), complement (C5a/C5a receptor) and antibody responses relevant to vaccine efforts.

FAQs

Staphylococcus aureus — frequently asked questions

What makes MRSA hard to treat?
MRSA carries the mecA-encoded PBP2a, conferring resistance to most beta-lactams, so treatment depends on alternative agents and susceptibility testing.
Which S. aureus toxins are studied by immunoassay?
Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEA–SEE), toxic-shock-syndrome toxin TSST-1 and alpha-toxin are common targets in virulence and food-safety research.
What is the receptor for S. aureus alpha-toxin?
Alpha-haemolysin binds the host metalloprotease ADAM10 to form lytic pores, a key mechanism in tissue damage.
