Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive coccus, which appears as grape-like clusters when viewed through a microscope and as large, round, golden-yellow colonies, often with ß-hemolysis, when grown on blood agar plates. The golden appearance is the etymological root of the bacteria's name: aureus means "gold" in Latin. ... Today, S. aureus has become resistant to many commonly used antibiotics. ... Methicillin was the first antibiotic in its class to be used (it was introduced in 1959), but only two years later, the first case of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) was reported in England. 2, record 1, English, - Staphylococcus%20aureus
