Species code:	STAAN
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacillales; Staphylococcus (TaxID: 158879) [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. N315 is a meticillin-resistant (MRSA) strain isolated in 1982.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: No Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of STAAN entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 2580 (863 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 1717 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
