Info

The genus Staphylococcus contains about forty species and subspecies today Only some of them are important as human pathogens: – Staphylococcus aureus – Staphylococcus epidermidis – Staphylococcus hominis – Staphylococcus haemolyticus – Staphylococcus saprophyticus – others
Staphylococci are gram-positive cocci, 0.5 to 1.5 mikrometer in diameter, nonmotile, nonsporeforming, facultatively anaerobic. The name Staphylococcus is derived from the Greek term „staphyle staphyle“, meaning „a bunch of grapes“. This name refers to the fact that the cells of these gram- positive cocci grow in a pattern resembling a cluster of grapes. However, microorganisms in clinical material may also appear as single strain, pairs, or short chains.
