Staphylococcus aureus is a major opportunistic pathogen responsible for a wide spectrum of human infections, including severe and difficult-to-treat cases. The emergence of multidrug-resistant strains limits the efficacy of conventional antibiotic therapies and poses a significant global public health challenge. In this context, the search for novel antibiotics has intensified, with increasing interest in marine resources, an ecosystem still largely underexplored. Marine bacteria produce a vast array of secondary metabolites with unique structures and potentially novel modes of antibacterial action. Several compounds isolated from marine bacterial strains have demonstrated promising activity against multidrug-resistant S. aureus, including antivirulence effects such as biofilm formation and Quorum-Sensing inhibition. This review explores the potential of marine bacteria as a source of new antibiotics against S. aureus, discusses both classical and advanced strategies for the discovery of bioactive molecules, and highlights the scientific and technological challenges involved in translating these findings into clinical applications.
