Here,its capsule (red),cell wall (green) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) genetic material (yellow) are seen. S. aureus can cause boils,abscesses and wound infections. MRSA is of serious concern in hospitals and has caused dangerous outbreaks,particularly in geriatric wards. Its spread may be very hard to control.
