Staphylococcus aureus, the most virulent of the many staphylococcal species, has remained a major cause of morbidity and mortality despite the availability of numerous effective anti-staphylococcal antibiotics. S. aureus causes disease through both toxin-mediated and non-toxin-mediated mechanisms. This organism is responsible for both healthcare associated and community-based infections ranging from relatively minor skin and soft tissue infections to severe life threatening systemic infections. Patients with diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of invasive S. aureus infections. This article focuses on the spectrum of invasive S. aureus infections and discusses the clinical features, investigations and management of these infections in patients with diabetes mellitus.
