Staphylococcus aureus, also known as golden staph, is one of the most common skin infections in humans. Vaginal colonisation is a bit less common, but does happen, as part of aerobic vaginitis or a local skin colonisation that may or may not cause symptoms.
A strain of S. aureus, known as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), is a hospital superbug, which can also colonise the vagina.
