Gram Positive bacteria
• Staphylococci and streptococci constitute the main group of medically important gram positive bacteria
• There are also bacilli that are pathogenic such as Anthrax and the Clostridia group. These are also spore forming organisms
• There are also some other gram positive rods such as Listeria, Lactobacillus,and Cornybacterium diptheria

Dr. Ashish Jawarkar 10
Staphylococci
• Staphylococcus was first identified in 1880 in Aberdeen, United Kingdom, by the surgeon Sir Alexander Ogston in pus from a surgical abscess in a knee joint.[1] This name was later appended to Staphylococcus aureus by Rosenbach
• Main types– Staph aureus – coagulase positive– Staph epidermidis, staph hemolyticus,
staph saphrophyticus – coagulase negative

StaphylococciMorphology
• Staphylococci stain dark purple with the gram stain.
• Staphylococci are arranged in grape like clusters
• Because they divide in three planes with daughter cells remaining in close proximity

Growth characteristics
• Grow on ordinary media like nutrient agar
• Temperature 10-42 degree• Produce golden yellow pigment

Staphylococcibiochemical reactions
• The most virulent form of staphylococcus, SA also secretes coagulase, that causes citrated plasma to clot. These are referred to as coagulase positive
• There are other staph that do not have this ability and are labeled coagulase negative
![Page 20: staphylococci](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/554b4079b4c905b5378b4b27/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Dr. Ashish Jawarkar 20
Coagulase test
• Slide method or tube method• In tube method – we add culture
of staphylococci and rabbit plasma
• Look for clot formation

Resistance
• Resistant to drying – can remain in dried pus for 3-6 months
• resistant forms to penicillin have emerged– Produce penicillinase which
inactivates penicillin– Change surface receptors for
penicillin– Develop tolerance to penicillin –
bacteria inactivated, not killed

Pathogenicity
• Cell surface protein – protein A – antiphagocytic property
• Clumping factor – surface protein – responsible for slide coagulase test
• Produce enzyme coagulase• Produce toxins
– Hemolytic toxins (leucocidins)– Enterotoxin – causes food poisoning – vomitting,
diarrhoea etc– Toxic shock syndrome toxin – produces
hypotension and rash– Epidermolytic toxin – causes STAPHYLOCOCCAL

Staphylococcus aureusepidemiology
• Carried by 20-40 % of healthy individuals in their mouth or on their skin
• It also found in their nasal mucosa• Vagina – increased risk of TSS during
menstruation• Umbilical stump infected during birth• Fomites carry staphylococci for months• Nosocomial infections by MRSA
