Which of the following is NOT typically caused by Staphylococcus aureus?

Staphylococcus aureus is a bacteria well-known for being responsible for a variety of skin infections, including impetigo, cellulitis, and furuncles. Impetigo is a highly contagious skin infection that can be caused by this bacterium, leading to sores and lesions, especially in children. Cellulitis refers to a deeper infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues that Staphylococcus aureus can cause, characterized by redness, swelling, and pain. Furuncles, commonly known as boils, are painful, pus-filled bumps that arise from infected hair follicles, with Staphylococcus aureus being the typical pathogen involved.

In contrast, herpes zoster is not caused by Staphylococcus aureus but is instead caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is responsible for chickenpox as well. After an infection, the virus can remain dormant and later reactivate, leading to herpes zoster, also known as shingles. This condition is characterized by a painful rash and blisters, distinctly different from the bacterial infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
