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.


How do you distinguish between micrococcus roseus and staphylococcus?

staphylococcus are Gram negative cocci, and division in them occur in multiple axes which result in the formation of grape-like cluster when observed under light microscope but streptococcus divide in single axis only therefore produce a chain of bacteria


What are the colonial features of staphylococus aureus in nutrient agar?

* Colonies are circular, 2-3 nm in diameter with a smooth shiny surface when grown on nutrient agar,milk agar or blood agar for 24 h at 37 degrees * Colonies are often pigmented,though a few strains are unpigmented Got the answers from here http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Port/3008/staphyl.html


If someone farts on your face with a bare butt can you get pink eye?

What does staphylococcus aureus need to thrive?

S. aureus, or a staff infection, usually require dark, damp environments, like most bacteria, to grow and thrive. This is why staff infection almost always occur on areas of the body where lots of sweating occur, they are closed off to the surrounding air (mostly) and are covered, either by another body part or clothing. Good examples would be the webbing between the fingers and toes, genitalia, the lip, nasal tissue or behind the ear.
