Staphylococcus aureus is now acknowledged as being the  most important bacterial pathogen of humans. It usually produces  localized disease but can be rapidly invasive, spreading through the  tissues, invading bone, and seeding the bloodstream to produce a  fulminant picture of septic shock, disseminated intravascular  coagulation, and rapid death. Moreover, most strains of staph  infections are becoming resistant to most antibiotics, thus posing a  significant problem for hospitals and health care facilities. This  book, a volume in the Infectious Agents and Pathogenesis  series, presents chapters by the major researchers in the field.
