Species code:	STAAW
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacillales; Staphylococcus (TaxID: 196620) [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. MW2 is a typical community-acquired strain of MRSA isolated in 1998 in North Dakota.
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 STAAW entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 2660 (895 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 1765 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
