False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of an individual bacterium of the species Staphylococcus aureus,a member of a genus of spherical,Gram-positive,non-motile bacteria. Many species cause disease in man through secretion of exotoxins: S. aureus is commonly present on skin mucous membranes & causes boils & internal abscesses. S. pyogenes albus & S. pyogenes aureus are associated with suppurative (pus forming) infections. Other species produce toxins causing food poisoning.
