What is Staph infection?
Stafy infection is an infection characterized by the presence of staphylococcus aureus known as "Staph". Approximately a quarter of the population bears these bacteria naturally, which makes Staf infection very common, as bacteria easily use small cuts in the skin or people with endangered immune systems such as elderly and cancer patients. The severity of the staff infection varies considerably depending on the patient's condition and the infected area. These infections attack hair follicles, eyelids and face. In these cases, the staff bacteria can enter the skin by a small break, causing the accumulation of pus and slight inflammation, which in the case of impetigo can turn red, stain and sometimes scabby. More seriously, Staf infection can turn into abscess, deep wound in the skin or other organ.
Sometimes the body can clean up the staff infection in itself, especially if warm compression is regularly applied to this area and if the area is maintained clean. But they can exiState cases where staff infection continues to spread, causing various problems, such as toxic shock syndrome, pneumonia, endocarditis and bone infection. In these cases, medical treatment is critical.
When a patient comes with a suspicious staff infection, the doctor may take a swab to cultivate bacteria and confirm that it is Staph. Antibiotics will also be prescribed to kill bacteria. Oral and local antibiotics may be used, and sometimes several different antibiotics will be needed if the bacteria has developed antibiotic resistance.
Staph infection can be prevented by using strict personal hygiene. Maintaining clean hands is important how it has been listened to all cuts and wounds to clean bacteria before it gets a chance to settle. It is regularly deleted with counters, doors and other often handling surfaces also help keep staff bacteria down, which significantly reduces the spread of bacteriaand.
One form of Staphylococcus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is particularly dangerous. This form of bacteria has developed resistance to most antibiotics, which makes treatment and potentially deadly difficult. To reduce the development of antibiotics resistance, it is important to complete antibiotic courses and ensure that all bacteria are killed. The non -fulfillment of the antibiotic course simply kills weak bacteria, allowing resistant bacteria to prosper and reproduce. In addition to prolonging infection, this also contributes to increasing bacteria resistant to antibiotics around the world.
