In 1880, the Scottish surgeon Sir Alexander Ogston first described staphylococci in pus from a surgical abscess in a knee joint: “The masses looked like bunches of grapes” [1]. In 1884, the German physician Friedrich Julius Rosenbach differentiated the staphylococci by the color of their colonies: S. aureus (from the Latin aurum, gold) [2]. For another 20 years, very little was known on the pathophysiology of this bug. Based on a PubMed search record, the first Staphylococcal paper was published in 1900 on a case report [3]. More and more scientists gradually engaged to study diseases caused by this bacterium. There were some 10 publications recorded during the period 1900–1910, which translate in average to one publication/year. Research on this bug exploded in the 20th century, which is reflected in a recent PubMed search. It yields 47,974 publications records when searched using the keyword “Staphylococcus” in the title. During the period 2010–2020, the average publication was 2000 articles/year. This record makes Staphylococcus the single most researched bacterium based on this publication track record.
