Species code:	STAAR
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacillales; Staphylococcus (TaxID: 282458) [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. Staphylococcus aureus (strain MRSA252) is a hospital-acquired representative of the epidemic EMRSA-16 clone.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: No Human pathogen: Yes Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of STAAR entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 2640 (888 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 1752 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number BX571856 (circular; 2,902,619 bp) (download entry)
