Cocci-shaped
- Staphylococcus aureus is Gram-positive bacteria (stain purple by Gram stain) that are cocci-shaped and tend to be arranged in clusters that are described as “grape-like.” On media, these organisms can grow in up to 10% salt, and colonies are often golden or yellow (aureus means golden or yellow).

May 31, 2016 · 2.1. Microscopic morphology. S. aureus cells are Gram-positive and appear in spherical shape. They are often in clusters resembling bunch of grapes when observed under light microscope after Gram staining. The name ‘Staphylococcus’ was derived from Greek, meaning bunch of grapes (staphyle) and berry (kokkos) .

May 17, 2020 · Last Updated: May 17, 2020. Definition. Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive, round (coccus) bacteria found in grape-like (staphylo) clusters; opportunistic colonies cause extreme harm. Staphylococcus aureus is, in limited populations, a commensal bacterium that neither harms nor helps the body.
Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive spherically shaped bacterium, a member of the Bacillota, and is a usual member of the microbiota of the body, frequently found in the upper respiratory tract and on the skin. It is often positive for catalase and nitrate reduction and is a facultative anaerobe that can grow without the need for oxygen. [1] .
