Best Answer

Staph is a common bacteria in the mouth - up to 80% of the population will have it. This doesn't mean that there is an infection, staph is commonly found on and in the body without causing an infection. If there is an infection (redness, swelling, pus) then it is certainly possible that staph is the bug.
