Bacterial cell growth and division require temporal and spatial coordination of multiple processes to ensure viability and morphogenesis. These mechanisms both determine and are determined by dynamic cellular structures and components, from within the cytoplasm to the cell envelope. The characteristic morphological changes during the cell cycle are largely driven by the architecture and mechanics of the cell wall. A constellation of proteins governs growth and division in Staphylococcus aureus , with counterparts also found in other organisms, alluding to underlying conserved mechanisms. Here, we review the status of knowledge regarding the cell cycle of this important pathogen and describe how this informs our understanding of the action of antibiotics and the specter of antimicrobial resistance.
