Overview

Staphylococcus aureus was discovered in late 1870's by Alexander Ogston, a surgeon at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. It was discovered to be the major cause of skin and soft tissue infections such as boils, staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome and impetigo.[1] [2] Carl Alois Philipp Garrè was a Swiss surgeon who proved that Staphylococcus aureus causes carbuncles and boils by self experimentation. Dr. Garre discovered and named Garre's sclerosing osteomyelitis (sclerosing osteitis – form of chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis).[3]
