Staphylococcus (Staph Infection)
Staphylococcus is a group of more than 30 types of bacteria, some of which can cause infection and disease in humans. Most infections are caused by Staphylococcus aureus, which spreads between people through direct contact, droplets and aerosols, or touching contaminated objects. Though usually harmless, staph bacteria can lead serious, life-threatening symptoms should the infection enter the bloodstream.
