Staphylococcus aureus is a facultative anaerobic Gram-positive coccus; it is non-motile and catalase and coagulase positive. Cells are spherical single or paired cocci, or form grape-like clusters (staphylo means grape in greek). The staphylococcal cell wall is resistant to lysozyme and sensitive to lysostaphin, which specifically cleaves the pentaglycin bridges of Staphylococcus spp. Some S. aureus strains are able to produce staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) and are the causative agents of staphylococcal food poisonings, S. aureus does not form spores. Thus, S. aureus contamination can be readily avoided by heat treatment of food. Nevertheless, it remains a major cause of FBD because it can contaminate food products during preparation and processing. Staphylococcus aureus is indeed found in the nostrils, and on the skin and hair of warm-blooded animals. Up to 30-50% of the human population are carriers. Staphylococcus aureus is able to grow in a wide range of temperatures (7° to 48.5°C with an optimum of 30 to 37°C; These characteristics enable S. aureus to grow in a wide variety of foods. This, plus their ecological niche, can easily explain their incidence in foodstuffs that require manipulation during processing.Dr.Wale .
