Staphylococcus Aureus, or staph for short, is frequently found in the human respiratory tract and on skin, and is a common cause of skin infections, respiratory disease and food poisoning. Staph produces potent protein toxing and cell-surface proteins that bind and inactivate antibodies.

How does staph attack the body?
Staphylococcus bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, can attack the body by entering through cuts, wounds, or mucous membranes, where they can multiply and cause infections. They produce various toxins and enzymes that can damage tissues and evade the immune response, leading to localized infections like abscesses or more serious systemic infections such as sepsis. Some strains, like MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), are resistant to common antibiotics, making treatment more challenging. The body's inflammatory response to the infection can also contribute to tissue damage and disease progression.
