Staph Bacteria

These bacteria can live harmlessly on many skin

surfaces. But when the skin is punctured or broken for any reason, staph bacteria can enter the wound and

cause an infection.

Staph Skin Infections

Staph infections in other parts of the body are less

common than on skin. They are more likely in people

with weak immune systems.

Poor hygiene is the main reason. People can get staph infections from contaminated objects, but staph bacteria often spread through skin-to-skin contact
