orthodox medicines are of herbal origin. Staphylococcus aureus has long been recognized as one of the most important bacteria that cause disease in humans. It is the leading cause of skin and soft tissue infections such as abscesses (boils)‚ furuncles‚ and cellulitis. Although most staph infections are not serious‚ Staphylococcus aureus can cause serious infections such as bloodstream infections‚ pneumonia‚ or bone and joint infections. Anyone can get a staphylococcus aureus skin infection. You are more

Streptococcus pyogenes Research paper MCB 2010C March 17‚ 2014 Nature of Causative Organism Streptococcus pyogenes‚ a group A streptococci‚ is a gram-positive‚ non-spore forming bacteria that can be seen as oval cocci chain forming shapes less than 2 micrometers in diameter under the microscope. It is a facultative anaerobe that can use fermentation for its metabolism. It needs a blood containing medium to grow and exhibits beta-hemolysis. It is a non-motile‚ nonspore forming bacterium.

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Staphylococcus aureus is an important and common pathogen in humans. It is found in the nose or on the skin of many healthy‚ asymptomatic persons (i.e.‚ carriers) and can cause infections with clinical manifestations ranging from pustules to sepsis and death. Most transmission occurs through the contaminated hands of a person infected with or carrying S. aureus. MRSA infections frequently are encountered in health-care settings (Lowy‚ 1998). A common

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION One of the most common infections that we can easily get was skin infections caused by bacteria‚ specifically Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. These two Staphylococcus species can found worldwide‚ they are a small component of soil microbial flora. We have different treatments for skin infections‚ but in those treatments only few people can afford it. Because most of them are expensive for ordinary people who are usually

Identification of Staphylococcus aureus and epidermidis Wendy Heck Bio 175: General Microbiology Fall 2012-11-21 Staphylococcus aureus is the most pathogenic for humans and Staphylococcus epidermidis is part of the normal flora and is of low pathogenicity. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus are two medically important species of bacteria. A culture from the nose and throat was taken to perform whether or not Staphylococcus epidermidis or Staphylococcus aureus were detected

Horack’s article “Staphylococcus epidermidis”‚ S. epidermidis is described as “gram-positive cocci bacteria that are part of the normal flora on the skin and nasal passages.” The article goes on to say that the species was originally named Staphylococcus Albus by microbiologist Rosenback in 1884. When viewed under a microscope S. epidermidis will appear in chains‚ pairs‚ or grape-like clusters (Horak 1). Taxonomically‚ the species S. epidermidis falls in the genus Staphylococcus‚ which is in the
