Enzyme secretion in Staphylococcus aureus strains

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus manifests many enzymes, which are correlated with the virulence of bacteria. The aim of the study was to determine enzymes secretion in Staphylococcus aureus strains. The results of the study showed that some enzymes which involve in virulence (plasma coagulase, catalase, urease, protease, and lecithinase, hemolysins) were secreted frequently in multidrug resistant and methicillin resistant S. aureus strains.
