You should be trained to avoid touching areas of your body that are prone to infections, particularly broken skin, open wounds, and mucous membranes, such as the nose and mouth. Staphylococcus aureus can easily enter the body through cuts or abrasions, leading to infections. Additionally, avoiding contact with areas where staph infections are common, such as the armpits or groin, can help reduce the risk of spreading the bacteria. Maintaining proper hygiene practices is essential in preventing transmission.
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.

In the name Staphylococcus aureus, "aureus" is indeed the specific epithet that distinguishes this species from others in the Staphylococcus genus. The term "aureus" is derived from Latin, meaning "golden," which refers to the color of the colonies produced by this bacterium when cultured. Staphylococcus aureus is known for its clinical significance, as it can cause a range of infections in humans. The genus name "Staphylococcus" refers to the spherical shape and cluster arrangement of the bacteria.
