Staphylococcus Aureus (ATCC 6538) Tests

Staphylococcus aureus is the most dangerous of the many common staphylococcal bacteria. These gram-positive, spherical bacteria commonly cause skin infections, but can also cause pneumonia, heart valve infections, and bone infections.

These bacteria are spread by: by direct contact with an infected person, using a contaminated object, or inhaling infected droplets dispersed by sneezing or coughing. Skin infections are common, but the bacteria can spread into the bloodstream and infect distant organs.

Staphylococcus aureus bacteria are found in the nose of about 30 percent of healthy adults and on the skin of 20 percent. These rates are higher for those working in health institutions.

Developed by the ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) Standards Development Organization, the ATCC 6538 standard is for research use only. Not intended for any animal or human therapeutic or diagnostic use. This standard is for testing the environment, sterility, disinfectants, antimicrobial preservatives, bacterial resistance in carpets and textiles.

There are many species of Staphylococcus aureus. Some strains produce toxins that can cause staphylococcal food poisoning, toxic shock syndrome, or scalded skin syndrome. Toxic shock syndrome is also caused by toxins produced by some streptococci. This syndrome includes fever, rash, dangerously low blood pressure, and failure of several organs. causes severe symptoms.

In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Among the numerous tests performed in this context, there are also staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) testing services.
