Bacteria
Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus
Strain/Type
ATCC 12600, CCM 885, DSM 20231, NCDO 949, NCTC 8532Characteristics e.g. sensitizing or toxic effects, resistance to antibiotics
Note ht:
Pathogenic for humans and vertebrates, but normally no transmission between the two host groups.
Note T:
Toxin production: prokaryotes capable of forming exotoxins. The "T" tag lays no claim to completeness, however, i.e. exotoxin-forming strains may also arise in types of prokaryote without this tag. The "T" tag adopted over from Annex III of Directive 2000/54/EC.
Footnote 17:
Recently, there have been reports of a zoonotic potential of S. aureus subsp. aureus, particularly for certain MRSA strains.
