Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen associated with a variety of clinical diseases. It is the leading cause of wound infections, skin infections, respiratory infections as well as device-related infections. This review comprehensively covers the virulence determinants of the organism and the different mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in the organism. Recently, Staphylococcus aureus has become a serious threat because of its ability to evolve which has led to challenges in the treatment of infections caused by the organism.
