Staphylococcus aureus primarily feeds on organic matter, including sugars, proteins, and lipids found in human and animal tissues. It can thrive in various environments, including on skin and mucous membranes, where it utilizes nutrients from bodily fluids. Additionally, it can grow in food products, causing foodborne illnesses by metabolizing the nutrients present in those foods.
