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
