About the book
Staphylococcus are Gram-positive bacteria that can be present in a wide range of hosts, that may simply be colonizing, or that may be causing mild to fatal infections. So Staphylococcus are involved in a wide variety of diseases and are the cause of multiple pathologies. The diversity of its pathologies depends mainly on the large number of virulence factors it has, in addition to having resistance to multiple antibiotics. Staphylococcus can be found both in hospital settings and in the community or on farms. The study of Staphylococcal infections is of great importance worldwide; its implications in both human and animal infections are widely studied globally. This book will aim to contribute to the knowledge and study of Staphylococcal infections in both humans and animals and to try to give an overview of the factors involved in the epidemiology, virulence, and pathogenesis of these microorganisms.
