| 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.
