The relationship between Staphylococcus and wound infection

Abstract

Gram-positive, catalase-positive cocci from the genus Staphylococcus in the family Staphylococcaceae are known as Staphylococcus aureus. Regardless of the patient's age, location, or environment, Staphylococcus aureus is the most prevalent bacterium causing skin infections globally. A few toxins generated by the bacteria are responsible for the majority of skin clinical manifestations, which result in a wide range of clinical symptoms. The primary toxins responsible for the majority of S. aureus-related dermatological symptoms include Panton Valentine leucocidin, exfoliatins, enterotoxins, and toxin shock syndrome toxin. Endocarditis and bacteremia might cause other, less common cutaneous symptoms. The most significant development at the moment is the global spread of community-acquired S. aureus resistant to methicillin (CAMRSA), which mostly causes skin infections.
