HAMAP: Staphylococcus aureus (strain bovine RF122 / ET3-1) complete proteome
General information

Species:  Staphylococcus aureus (strain bovine RF122 / ET3-1)
Species code: STAAB
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacillales; Staphylococcus (TaxID: 273036) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Gram-positive nonmotile coccus that grows in aerobic and anaerobic conditions, in which it forms grape-like clusters. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the major causes of community- acquired and hospital-acquired infections. It produces numerous toxins including superantigens that cause unique disease entities such as toxic-shock syndrome and staphylococcal scarlet fever.

S.aureus is also the cause of bovine mastitis which causes billions of dollars in economic loss to the dairy industry. Strain ET3-1, also known as RF122, is an isolate that represents the most common S.aureus clone derived from bovine mastitis worldwide. It was isolated from a cow with mastitis in 1993 in Ireland, and belongs to the ST151 MLST type. The genome sequence has revealed genomic features that distinguish successful bovine from human pathogens.
Properties: Presence of flagella: No
