Staphylococcus aureus is usually described as an extracellular opportunistic pathogen, infecting a wide range of organs and tissues.However, it also invades and replicates in various phagocytic or nonphagocytic host cells (Hamza & Li, 2014). To be successful as a pathogen, this bacterium needs to adapt to the hostile environment of the host and must acquire imposed nutriments for its survival.Consequently, the staphylococcal genome encodes several transporters for metabolites (sugars, metals, amino acids, etc.), which are
