Info

Subgroup of coagulase-negative species contains from human staphylococci: – Staphylococcus epidermidis, – Staphylococcus hominis, – Staphylococcus haemolyticus, – Staphylococcus saprophyticus, – Staphylococcus simulans, – Staphylococcus warneri and other.
The species Staphylococcus aureus Morphology – Gram-positive, spherical cells, mostly arranged in irregular grape like clusters. – Polysaccharide capsule is only rarely found on cells. – The peptidoglycan layer is the major structural component of the cell wall. It is important in the pathogenesis of staphylococcal infections. Other important component of cell wall is teichoic acid. – Protein A is the major protein component of the cell wall. It is located on the cell surface but is also released into the culture medium during the cell growth. A unique property of protein A is its ability to bind to the Fc part of all IgG molecules except IgG3. It is not an antigen-antibody specific reaction.
