Staphylococcus aureus

Staphylococcus is group of bacteria, more commonly known as Staph. It can cause many diseases and can infect various tissues of the body.

Staph bacteria can cause sickness, not just due to infection, but also from the same toxins responsible for food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome.

Staph-related illness varies dramatically, it can be mild and require no medical care, or it can be severe and potentially fatal.
