Abstract

BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive spherical bacterium commonly present in nasal fossae and in the skin of healthy people; however, in high quantities, it can lead to complications that compromise health. The pathologies involved include simple infections, such as folliculitis, acne, and delay in the process of wound healing, as well as serious infections in the CNS, meninges, lung, heart, and other areas.
