C	INCUBATION PERIOD	2 and 4 hours (range 30 minutes to 8 hours)
D	MODE OF TRANSMISSION	Contaminated object, droplets sneezing or coughing,
E	DIAGNOSIS	Biochemical Test Staphylocoagulase (Coagulase) +

		Staphylokinase (Fibrinolysin) + Protease, Hyaluronidase, Lipase + Gram +, Catalase +, Oxidase -, Cocci Cultural morphology Sheeps Blood Agar appearance: β-hemolytic-Medium to large,Pigmented yellow ɣ-hemolytic -Small to medium,Gray-white Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) appearance Growth with fermentation (yellow halos) testing colonies for agglutination with latex particles coated with immunoglobulin G and fibrinogen which bind protein A and the clumping factor,
