Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus USA300_FPR3757

Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus USA300_FPR3757 is a Gram-positive bacterium characterized by its cocci shape and arrangement in clusters and singles. This strain is facultatively anaerobic, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. It does not exhibit mobility, as it lacks flagella. This bacterium is nonsporulating and is classified as mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 3°C, though it can survive within a broader temperature range typical for mesophilic organisms. S. aureus USA300 has a unique genomic structure, possessing four replicons and a single membrane. In terms of habitat, S. aureus USA300_FPR3757 is host-associated and exhibits a free-living biotic relationship. This adaptability to host environments contributes to its significance in clinical microbiology, particularly regarding its role in human infections. The genetic accessions for this strain include NC_007790.1, NC_007791.1, NC_007792.1, and NC_007793.1, which provide essential data for further research and analysis. Understanding the traits of S. aureus USA300_FPR3757 highlights its ecological versatility and potential pathogenicity, particularly in healthcare settings where it poses a risk for various infections. The ability to thrive in host-associated environments underscores the importance of monitoring this strain to mitigate its impact on public health.
