Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is an emerging crisis in medical field due to its development of antibiotic resistance. It is capable of causing numerous hazardous infections and continued medication has led to the development of antibiotic resistance. Moreover, S. aureus is capable of biofilm formation which is a major cause of multidrug resistance. It causes a wide range of infections starting from mild infections to life threatening diseases. S. aureus is considered as a major threat to living population. It has been reported that day by day the strain is becoming resistant to the conventional treatments, so new or alternative medication or treatment is an emergency. In this review the clinical significance, antibiotic resistance and the biofilm formation of S. aureus has been discussed.
