AB Staphylococcus  aureus,  the  most  virulent  of  the  many  staphylococcal  species,  has  demonstrated  its  versatility  by  remaining  a  major  cause  of  morbidity  and  mortality  worldwide  despite  the  availability  of  numerous  effective  antistaphylococcal  antibiotics.  S.  aureus  is  a  pluripotent  pathogen,  causing  disease  through  both  toxin-  and  non-toxin-mediated  mechanisms.  This  organism  is  responsible  for  numerous  nosocomial  and  community-based  infections  that  range  from  relatively  minor  skin  and  soft  tissue  infections  to  life-threatening  systemic  infections.
