Species code:	STAAM
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacillales; Staphylococcus (TaxID: 158878) [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. Mu50 is a MRSA strain with vancomycin resistance isolated in 1997.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: not known Human pathogen: Yes Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of STAAM entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 2714 (923 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 1791 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
