How to Prevent Contracting a Staph Infection?
Staph infection is caused by a harmful bacteria that is found on the skin. Luckily, many staph infections are avoidable. Wash your hands often with warm water and soap. Use an antibacterial hand sanitizer in between washings. Cover open wounds to prevent transmission of the bacteria. Never share razors, combs, towels or other personal items. Avoid touching other people's wounds. Use gloves if you must change someone's bandage or treat an injury.
How do you heal a staph infection?
Staphylococcus, a Gram positive bacteria. is tremendously common, and lives everywhere, so you see a lot of staph infections. This infection in its many forms is treated with antibiotics.Depending on where the infection strikes, there are many topical, oral and injectable antibiotics that work well on staph. The main concern is that you want a penicillinase resistant antibiotic. So antibiotics that are susceptible to penicillinase need to be paired with a penicillinaseblocker, or you need to go with a non-suseceptible antibiotic.A very short list of popular non-suscepticles includes (but it not limited to):VancomycinLevaquin (levofloxacin)Cipro (ciprofloxacin)Keflex (semi-synthetic cephalosporin)Zyvox (linezolid) -- also effective against MRSA and LRECubicin (daptomycin) -- also effective against MRSA and LREI'm not saying your answer is wrong, but I thought staph couldn't be cured. Aren't all of these possibly dangerous to the patient's health? It could hurt/kill the patient instead of killing the staff. Also, I have heard you would have to use a dangerously high amount of these "items". Correct me if needed to be corrected. I am eager to know.

Can you catch staph infection by sitting in the same chair as infected person?
It is not very common, but it is possible and more likely to happen in the context of a hospital, prison, or gym/locker room. Staph bacteria are actually present on most people's skin all of the time; an actual infection occurs only when the bacteria invade the skin for some reason. Staph infections can easily take hold through an open wound in the skin (cut, abrasion, other sore), but they can also take hold via a hair follicle--in which case the infection will cause a boil. Men are slightly more susceptible, perhaps in part because they are more likely to use gyms or be in prisons--but also because men have hairier legs and buttocks and the hair follicles there can develop boils. All that said, it is rather unlikely that a clothed person will contract a staph infection from sitting in a normal chair, no matter where it is located.
