The 31 pages that link to Staphylococcus aureus, each with the reason it gives.

• Gram-positive bacteriaBroader topic: It is a clinically important example of a Gram-positive pathogen.

• Atopic dermatitisRelated: It often overgrows on affected skin and can aggravate inflammation.

• CellulitisRelated: It is a common cellulitis cause, especially when an abscess is also present.

• Alexander FlemingBroader topic: Fleming was studying staphylococci when he noticed penicillin’s effect on nearby bacteria.

• Surgical site infectionRelated: It is a frequent cause of surgical infections, including infections involving implanted devices.

• Skin microbiomeBroader topic: Its overgrowth is associated with several inflammatory skin conditions.

• OsteomyelitisRelated: It is the leading cause of acute bacterial osteomyelitis.

• Pseudomonas aeruginosaCompared with: Its Gram-positive cell envelope contrasts with P. aeruginosa's Gram-negative outer membrane.

• EczemaRelated: Eczematous skin is often colonized by this bacterium, which can worsen inflammation and infection risk.

• Streptococcus pyogenesCompared with: It is another major cause of invasive soft-tissue infection, but belongs to a different genus.

• ImpetigoRelated: It is a leading cause of impetigo, especially bullous disease.

• Chronic rhinosinusitisRelated: Its presence and immune effects are studied as possible contributors in some disease phenotypes.

• FolliculitisRelated: It is a frequent cause of bacterial folliculitis, especially when follicles are damaged.

• Cutibacterium acnesCompared with: It offers a contrast between an often acute pathogen and this usually resident, slow-growing species.

• Infective endocarditisBroader topic: It is a frequent cause of acute, aggressive endocarditis.

• Septic arthritisBroader topic: It is a leading cause of bacterial septic arthritis.

• Bacillus subtilisCompared with: Its clustered cocci and pathogenic behavior contrast with rod-shaped B. subtilis.

• Group A StreptococcusCompared with: It can cause overlapping skin and invasive syndromes but belongs to a different bacterial genus.

• Chronic granulomatous diseaseBroader topic: It is among the bacterial pathogens associated with recurrent infections in the disease.

• DermatitisRelated: Damaged, inflamed skin can be more susceptible to secondary infection by this bacterium.

• Otitis externaRelated: It is another frequent bacterial cause of external ear canal infection.

• CefazolinRelated: Susceptible strains are important targets of cefazolin in treatment and prophylaxis.

• Medical microbiologyBroader topic: Its drug-resistant strains make identification and susceptibility testing clinically consequential.

• MupirocinRelated: Mupirocin is used against susceptible strains in skin infections and nasal carriage.

• StaphylococcusBroader topic: It is the genus's best-known pathogen and a frequent cause of invasive disease.

• CarvacrolBroader topic: Its susceptibility is often examined in laboratory studies of carvacrol’s antimicrobial action.

• FlucloxacillinRelated: Susceptible strains are the main targets of flucloxacillin treatment.

• MethicillinRelated: Penicillinase-producing strains prompted the development of methicillin.

• Staphylococcal infectionBroader topic: It causes many staphylococcal infections, including severe invasive disease.

• CloxacillinRelated: Susceptible strains are a principal target of cloxacillin treatment.

• Pathogenic bacteriaBroader topic: Its effects range from harmless carriage to severe invasive disease.
