Staphylococcus aureus

Staph·y·lo·coc·cus au·re·us

a common species found especially on nasal mucous membrane and skin (hair follicles); bacterial species that produces exotoxins including those that cause toxic shock syndrome, with resulting skin rash, and renal, hepatic, and central nervous system disease, and an enterotoxin associated with food poisoning; it causes furunculosis, cellulitis, pyemia, pneumonia, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, suppuration of wounds, other infections; also a cause of infection in burn patients; humans are the chief reservoir. The type species of the genus Staphylococcus. Synonym(s): Staphylococcus pyogenes aureus

Staphylococcus aureus

Staphylococcus pyogenes Microbiology The most common pathogenic staphylococcus, which is often part of the normal human microflora, and linked to opportunistic infections Predisposing factors Nonspecific immune defects–Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, chronic granulomatous disease, hypogammaglobulinemia, folliculitis; skin injury–burns, surgery; presence of foreign bodies–eg, sutures, prosthetic devices; systemic disease–eg, CA, alcoholism, heart disease, viral infection; antibiotic therapy Clinical Folliculitis, bronchopneumonia

Patient discussion about Staphylococcus aureus

Q. What is MRSA? I’ve heard on the news that some hospitals have a higher rate of MRSA infection. What is MRSA?A.
MRSA - Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, is a nick name for a specific subtype of bacteria from the Staph bacteria family, which is found resistant to many of the common antibiotics that are in use today. This is due to a mutation development in the Staph bacteria, which allowed it to grow resistance against the killing ingredient in common antibiotics, therefore making it a harder infection to treat and cure. Hospitals keep track of their MRSA infections for epidemiological reasons, in order to get a perspective on bacterial resistance to antibiotics, hoping new and more effective antibiotic medication will be researched.

Q. My father was hospitalized for pneumonia. The doctors said they are afraid of HA-MRSA. Why is it so scary? My father was hospitalized for pneumonia last week. The doctors wanted to discharge him as quick as possible because they said that they are afraid of Hospital Acquired Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA). Why is it so scary?A. Hospital Acquired Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of sepsis and death due to the fact that are very limited antibiotics that kill it.
Because of this it is the nightmare of doctors.
This bacteria is very durable and is very common in hospitals, and because of it, its always better to be at the hospital the minimum time needed.

Q. can staphylococcus in woman cause infertility? staphylococcus/infertilityA. Not that I know about. One of the major routes in which bacteria cause infertility in women is through inflammation of the pelvis (PID), but staphylococcus isn't a major cause of this disease.
