There is no direct evidence linking staphylococcus infections to the development of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD is a complex mental health condition influenced by genetic, environmental, and neurological factors rather than infections. However, some studies suggest that infections, particularly streptococcal infections, may be associated with a subset of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in children, known as PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections). Overall, staphylococcus is not recognized as a cause of OCD.
