Can a human get staph infection from a dog?
Both human-to-animal and animal-to-human transmission of Staph (MRSA) are known to be possible. Although this use to be rare, with the constant mutation of drug resistant Staph it has become more commonplace. http://www.gjsentinel.com/featr/content/shared/living/pets/qa/qa111907.html These infections are not just limited to dog-to-human/human-to-dog but also a wide range of other animals including horses, pigs, cattle, sheep, cats, and rabbits as well. Good hygiene practices will lessen the your chances of a Staph infection but the bacteria is ever present in our environment and possibly the most common disease-causing bacteria in humans. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/hip/Aresist/mrsafaq.htm http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/2109.html
