Staphylococcus aureus strain YNSA210

Staphylococcus aureus strain YNSA210 is a Gram-positive cocci that typically exists in clusters or as singles. This strain is facultatively anaerobic, meaning it can thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. It lacks mobility, as it does not possess flagella. The strain is mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 3°C, and it has a single membrane and one replicon. This strain is host-associated, primarily found in various hosts including Homo sapiens, Gallus gallus, Bos taurus, and other mammals and birds. It exhibits a free-living biotic relationship, which may suggest it can survive independently in certain environments while also being pathogenic to a wide range of hosts. S. aureus strain YNSA210 has been implicated in numerous health complications, including vertebral osteomyelitis, bacteremia, pneumonia, abscesses, and endocarditis. Its pathogenicity extends to both animals and humans, contributing to a variety of infections such as skin and soft tissue infections, septic arthritis, and even severe conditions like toxic shock syndrome and neonatal infections. The broad host range and diverse health effects associated with S. aureus strain YNSA210 highlight its ecological versatility and potential as an opportunistic pathogen. Its ability to cause a wide array of infections in different species suggests that it plays a significant role in both animal and human health, underlining the importance of monitoring its presence in clinical and environmental settings.
