However, you should get advice from your medical professionals on if you are still contagious and what precautions you and those around you should take to prevent the spread.

Majority of people are unaware of the fact that impetigo is also carried by animals. Normally this kind of bacterial infection is not found in animals, but they can be potential carriers of the bacteria.

Impetigo is mainly caused by two types of bacteria, namely staphylococcus and streptococcus. Animal carry the strep virus which is one of the lesser known sources for the cause of the disease. Even houseflies can sit on open sores of infected person and successfully spread it to other healthy individuals.

For instance, pet dog can be carriers of this bacterial infection, which can spread to the little children in our homes. This is how impetigo can spread in many unknown ways. Animals generally do not suffer from this infection but are good carriers to spread the infection. So, it is important to remember that animals can spread the infection as effectively as humans.

Prevention: Good hygiene practices, such as regular hand washing, can help prevent impetigo. Have kids use soap and water to clean their skin and be sure they take baths or showers regularly. Pay special attention to areas of the skin that have been injured, such as cuts, scrapes, bug bites, areas of eczema, and rashes such as poison ivy. Keep these areas clean and covered.

Impetigo is not eukaryotic; it is a bacterial skin infection caused primarily by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes, which are prokaryotic organisms. Eukaryotic cells, such as those in fungi, plants, and animals, have a more complex structure with a nucleus and organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not. Therefore, impetigo is associated with prokaryotic bacteria rather than eukaryotic organisms.

If a child has impetigo, the school would take several precautions to prevent its spread. The child would be required to stay home until they have been on antibiotics for at least 24 hours and the sores are no longer oozing. The school would also enhance cleaning and disinfecting protocols for shared spaces and materials, and inform staff and parents about the condition to raise awareness about hygiene practices. Additionally, the school might implement measures to minimize close contact among students to reduce transmission risk.

Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection primarily caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. It often originates from breaks in the skin, such as cuts, insect bites, or conditions like eczema, which allow bacteria to enter. The infection is highly contagious and commonly affects children, spreading through direct contact or contaminated objects. Poor hygiene and crowded living conditions can also contribute to its prevalence.
