How do you pronounce this term? Staphylococcus aureus.
ˌstæf.ə.ləˈkɒ.kəs ˈoɹ
OOOPs sorry I have not mastered the way of the boffins, how to put these non-recognisable letters in this f.... blog.
staph·y·lo·coc·cus from Encarta
and the same inside info states this fact.
"Definition:
bacterium occurring in clusters: a bacterium that typically occurs in clusters resembling grapes, normally inhabits the skin and mucous membranes, and may cause disease. These bacteria commonly infect the skin, eyes, and urinary tract, and some produce toxins responsible for septicemia and food poisoning. Genus Staphylococcus "
So we in UK has been suffering from this illness for a number of years? No we had others before. First this is "a spherical bacterium, frequently living on the skin or in the nose of a person. Approximately 20%-30% of the general population are "staph carriers"". Why are 70% to 80% excused? Are they immune to it?

There is a link above: "staph·y·lo·coc·cus from Encarta". If you clicked on that link you would have been taken to Encarta page where you can see the word properly and listen to how it is pronounced.
Aureus has a different word meaning when taken on its own.
"Roman coin: a gold coin that was a unit of currency in the Roman Empire between 30 bc and ad 310".
I use the
http://www.onelook.com/
to find meanings and definitions of various words. Through that I found that
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/aureus
gives the pronounciation of the word.
I am sorry you ended up in my blog while you were researching a science paper. I am still wondering how? Hope you use the above tools next time and good luck with your education.
