S. aureus are frequently associated with purulent skin infections that manifest as folliculitis, furuncles, or carbuncles. S. aureus is also a leading cause of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS). S. aureus is generally drug resistant and current MRSA strains are resistant to a wide range of antibiotics.

The severity is linked to bacterial toxins, but early antibiotic treatment and antitoxin antibodies can be effective. Research suggests mutant forms of protective antigens may serve as potential vaccines and treatments. The existing vaccine uses a weakened strain of the bacteria, and genetic variation among anthrax strains aids in outbreak tracking.

It reviews detection methods including traditional culturing, PCR for rapid but contamination-sensitive results, and longer immunoassays. A new rapid biosensor, CANARY, is introduced, which uses genetically engineered B lymphocytes to detect antigens, emitting light when specific antigens are present. This method is noted for its high sensitivity, specificity, and speed.
