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.


Does staphylococcus aureus have an infect on the human body?

Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that is usually found on the skin at any given time. Staph is harmless unless it is colonized. Colonization occurs when the bacteria enters the body and begins to replicate itself. Once colonization occurs, staph seemingly takes on a life of its own and begins feeding on the body. Staph infections then take on the role as a parasite; needing to feed on its host to stay alive. If left untreated, staph can grow exponentially. Staph colonies usually stay together unless the nutrients in its host are depleted. The dangerous aspect of staph, is when it colonizes other parts of the body. In these cases, staph can attach itself to major organs causing havoc in the host's body, possibly leading to death of its host.

Is the bacteria MRSA pathogenic or non pathogenic?

MRSA bacteria are pathogenic, this is the name given to a group of bacteria that belong to the Staphylococcus aureus family of bacteria which have grown resistant to methicillin-type antibiotics. MRSA stands for: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Staphyloccocus aureus bacteria are often carried on people's skin and sometimes in their noses and back of their throats. People carrying the bacteria who are healthy are said to be colonized, but not infected. The bacteria, however, can cause serious infections, such as pneumonia, blood, bone and surgical wound infections, as well as less serious infections such as impetigo, cellulitis and small abscesses or boils under the right conditions.
