Best Answer

Staphylococcus Aureus, or staph for short, is frequently found in the human respiratory tract and on skin, and is a common cause of skin infections, respiratory disease and food poisoning. Staph produces potent protein toxing and cell-surface proteins that bind and inactivate antibodies.
