How many people carry the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria?

In 25-30% of people, this bacteria is present on the skin lining normal, uninfected nostrils.


Can you die from staphylococcus aureus?

Potentially you could die from an infection by this bacteria. This would only occur if all of the variables are right (or wrong I guess). If your immune system is weak, and these bacteria get into your blood, and they are not treated soon enough, or are antibiotic resistant then you could potentially die.It is worth noting however, that approximately 30% of all people have Staphylococcus aureus living on their skin, usually in the nose, and it does not cause any sickness at all.


How do you prevent Staphylococcus aureus?

You can't prevent Staph. aureus as it is a natural bacterial resident on most human skin. However you can prevent Staph. aureus from causing problems or ill health by keeping good hygiene standards and preventing the bacteria from getting into skin breaks, cuts etc. where it will then become an infection.


Does staphylococcus aureus have an infect on the human body?

Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that is usually found on the skin at any given time. Staph is harmless unless it is colonized. Colonization occurs when the bacteria enters the body and begins to replicate itself. Once colonization occurs, staph seemingly takes on a life of its own and begins feeding on the body. Staph infections then take on the role as a parasite; needing to feed on its host to stay alive. If left untreated, staph can grow exponentially. Staph colonies usually stay together unless the nutrients in its host are depleted. The dangerous aspect of staph, is when it colonizes other parts of the body. In these cases, staph can attach itself to major organs causing havoc in the host's body, possibly leading to death of its host.


What kind of bacteria is found on coins?

What dose MRSA stand for?

MRSA is metycilin resistent staphylococcus aureus, meaning that the bacteria SA is resistant to the antibiotic metycilin(I think I wrote the name correct) MRSA is Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus . It is a bacterial infection caused by a strain of Staph aureus which are resistant to most antibiotics and thus difficult to eradicate. It emerged in 1961 after Methicillin was used to treat this infection. It is now one of the most common Hospital acquired infections.

How many people die of Staph infections?

Staphylococcus aureus infections can lead to serious health complications, and while many cases are mild, more severe infections can be fatal. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about 20,000 deaths occur each year in the United States due to antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However, the exact number can vary based on factors such as geography and healthcare access. It's essential to practice good hygiene and seek medical attention for serious infections to reduce the risk of complications.
