''Staphylococcous Aureus'' is a bacterium that is commonly found on human skin and respiratory tracts; however, when it becomes pathogenic it can cause many diseases: skin infections, respiratory diseases(pneumonia), food poisoning. It is a Gram positive, cluster forming coccus, non-motile, facultative Anaerobe and a leading cause of nosocomial infection.
