Potentially you could die from an infection by this bacteria. This would only occur if all of the variables are right (or wrong I guess). If your immune system is weak, and these bacteria get into your blood, and they are not treated soon enough, or are antibiotic resistant then you could potentially die.
It is worth noting however, that approximately 30% of all people have Staphylococcus aureus living on their skin, usually in the nose, and it does not cause any sickness at all.

Yes, it is possible to die from Staphylococcus aureus infection, particularly if it is not treated promptly or if it progresses to a severe form of infection such as sepsis. Staphylococcus aureus can cause a range of illnesses, from minor skin infections to more serious conditions like pneumonia, bloodstream infections, or organ infections, which can be life-threatening if not treated appropriately.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) is a bacterium responsible for difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It may also be referred to as multiple-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(ORSA). MRSA are by definition strains of Staphylococcus aureus that are resistant to a large group of antibiotics called the beta-lactams, which include the penicillins and the cephalosporins.
