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.

N315 is a meticillin-resistant (MRSA) strain isolated in 1982.
