Staphylococci are gram-positive<br />
cocci, 0.5 to 1.5<br />
mikrometer in diameter, nonmotile, nonsporeforming,<br />
facultatively anaerobic.<br />
The name Staphylococcus is derived from the Greek<br />
term „staphyle<br />
staphyle“,<br />
meaning „a bunch of grapes“.<br />
This<br />
name refers to the fact that the cells of these gram-<br />
positive cocci grow in a pattern resembling a cluster of<br />
grapes. However, microorganisms in clinical material<br />
may also appear as single strain, pairs, or short chains.
