Bacterial conjunctivitis can occur in adults and children and is caused by organisms such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Hemophilus.
Staphylococcus albus, now known as Staphylococcus Epidermidis, is present on people's skin naturally and typically is not harmful unless it is introduced into the person's system via an injury to the skin that disrupts the skin's integrity, such as a laceration. It can also be introduced into the body via a urinary catheter.
Staphylococcus albus grows optimally at temperatures around 37 degrees Celsius, which is human body temperature.
Conjunctivitis
viruses and bacteria
No but the organisms that cause it do.
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease that can cause pneumonia or conjunctivitis in a baby born to a mother with the infection.
Staphylococcus aureus
Infection with an adenovirus, however, may also cause a significant amount of pus-like discharge and a scratchy, foreign body-type of sensation in the eye. This may also be accompanied by swelling and tenderness
Short answer is likely yes; unless an infected person touched an infected area and then touched your eye.
The cause is Staphylococcus aureus, a bacteria.
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacteria, not a fungus.
