Staphylococcus aureus strain YNSA365

Staphylococcus aureus strain YNSA365 is a Gram-positive cocci bacterium that exhibits a cluster or single cell arrangement. This strain is facultative, meaning it can thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. It has no mobility and is characterized by the presence of flagella, which may suggest a capacity for certain cellular processes. YNSA365 is classified as mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 3°C, although it can survive within a broader temperature range. This strain is primarily host-associated and demonstrates a free-living biotic relationship, indicating its ability to exist independently while still being associated with various hosts. Notably, it can infect a wide range of organisms, including Homo sapiens, Gallus gallus, Bos taurus, and several others, encompassing both mammals and birds. S. aureus YNSA365 is associated with a multitude of health effects, particularly in humans and animals. It is implicated in serious conditions such as vertebral osteomyelitis, bacteremia, pneumonia, and various skin and soft tissue infections. The strain has also been linked to nosocomial infections and opportunistic infections, highlighting its potential as a significant pathogen in clinical settings. The broad host range and diverse pathogenic effects underscore the ecological versatility of S. aureus YNSA365, suggesting that it plays a crucial role in both human and animal health dynamics, as well as in the microbiological landscape of environments where these hosts interact.
