  Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a Gram-positive bacterium that occurs in microscopic bunches similar to grapes. In general, S. aureus shows two different colonies; on agar dishes S. aureus forms huge golden yellow colonies, while on blood agar dishes it has haemolytic properties. Recently, different major studies have discovered CO2-dependent S. aureus strains that can be found as an inhabitant of small colony variants (SCV) S. aureus, which can cause recurrent and persistent infections. Although it has been investigated the mechanism of this CO2 dependence, this paper aims to use different bioinformatics software tools, such as MUMmer, BLAST, Jalview and ClustalW, in order to compare and search for the differences in the enzymes involved in pathways that can be altered in the CO2-dependent S. aureus strain. That is, the entire genome of CO2-dependent S. aureus strain was compare.. Read More»
