Impetigo is caused by certain Streptococcus bacteria. Guinea pigs themselves can get impetigo as a result of this bacteria, so if your guinea pig has impetigo, it could cause impetigo in someone who had a suppressed immune system. Norml handling of guinea pigs won't cause it if one washes ones hands every time after handling the guinea pig or their bedding.
