Staphylococcus is a coccus and so indiviual cells are round in shape. Groups of cells typically form grape like clusters because they divide along two planes rather than the chains formed by Streptococcus which only divide along one plane.
In the name Staphylococcus aureus, "aureus" is indeed the specific epithet that distinguishes this species from others in the Staphylococcus genus. The term "aureus" is derived from Latin, meaning "golden," which refers to the color of the colonies produced by this bacterium when cultured. Staphylococcus aureus is known for its clinical significance, as it can cause a range of infections in humans. The genus name "Staphylococcus" refers to the spherical shape and cluster arrangement of the bacteria.
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacteria, not a fungus.
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium which is shaped like a bunch of grapes.
"Aureus" is not a classification level; it is a species name within the Staphylococcus genus. The classification levels for organisms are Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. Staphylococcus aureus belongs to the domain Bacteria, the phylum Firmicutes, the class Bacilli, the order Bacillales, the family Staphylococcaceae, the genus Staphylococcus, and the species aureus.

Yes, MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) is a specific strain of Staphylococcus aureus that has developed resistance to methicillin and other antibiotics. While all MRSA is Staphylococcus aureus, not all Staphylococcus aureus is MRSA. This resistance makes MRSA infections more challenging to treat compared to non-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus.

Bacteria domain
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) is a bacterium responsible for difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It may also be referred to as multiple-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(ORSA). MRSA are by definition strains of Staphylococcus aureus that are resistant to a large group of antibiotics called the beta-lactams, which include the penicillins and the cephalosporins.
