Can pseudomonas aeruginosa produce endospores?
No, Staphylococcus Aureus is a gram positive facultative anaerobe. It has a cell wall surrounding a peptidoglycan layer, however does not produce an endospore like many other gram positive bacteria. Staphylococcus Aureus is a cocci shaped bacteria with pyogenic properties.

What color is micrococcus luteus?
It is yellow, but after gram staining it turns purple.
Is impetigo gram positive rods?

What describes the correct cellular morphology and gram reaction for staphylococcus aureus?
The cell morphology of Staphylococcus aureus is spherical in appearance. Spherical bacterium are known as coccus and appear as tetrads (4) or more in groups. They stain Gram +.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus gram stain?
Would be gram-positive because of the cell wall of the Staphylococci.
What is the arrangement of the staphylococcus aureus?
Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacteria. it has a perfect spherical cell with a diameter of one micrometer. The cell cluster looks like grapes under a microscope.

What is importance of Gram staining in medical setting?
To determine which pathogen you are dealing with. Bacteria with a thick peptidoglycan layer stain gram positive (like staphylococcus aureus) while bacteria with a thin layer stain gram negative (like escherichia coli)
What are E coli and Staphylococcus aureus classified as?
E. coli is a gram-negative bacteria.S. aureus is a gram-positive coccus. It is a coccus because its shape is round (from the Greek kokkos=grain).

What are the general characteristics of staphylococcus Aureus?
Gram + coccus. Positive methanol test. Yellow on agar.
Staphylococcus?
Gram + cocci, facultative anaerobes, catalase 2) Most Staph reside harmlessly as normal flora of skin. 3) Staphylococcus epidermidis 4) Staphylococcus aureus - skin / wound infections, food poisoning 5) Staphylococcus saprophyticus - UTI
