Staphylococcal Infections

Staphylococcal infections are caused by bacteria called Staphylococcus, which are commonly found on skin and in the nose. Most of the time, they don't cause harm, but if they enter the body through cuts or other openings, they can lead to infections. These infections can range from minor issues, like pimples or boil, to more serious conditions like pneumonia or bloodstream infections. Certain strains, like MRSA, are resistant to many antibiotics, making treatment more challenging. Good hygiene and prompt medical attention for wounds can help prevent these infections.
