Staphylococcus aureus
What is staphylococcus aureus? Staphylococcus aureus, sometimes called staph aureus, is a gram positive coccus that grows in clusters. It’s a part of the normal skin and nasal flora in about a quarter of the population, but if it overgrows or if the skin is damaged, then it can cause disease through direct colonization, toxin production, or both.

I got a cellulitis with staph aureus, and Bactrim didn’t even slow the spread. Incredibly painful to move. Leg was on fire non stop. 5 days in the hospital, I think vancomycin saved my life. A month later , I am still recovering with minor pains. The leg still looks awful, but I’m antibiotic-free for a week now
I have health/illness anxiety so these explanations make me feel so much better.
i once had staph. i was picking on a goosebump on my lower torso before i went to bed, and when i woke up, there was a giant red line heading to my stomach and my spine.

I had hospital acquired MRSA osteomyelitis for almost 3 years after had 8 reconstructive surgeries. I had a fall down a flight of stairs causing multiple compound fractures & spent almost 2 years, on & off in the hospital. I had repeated 105°+ fevers, systemic sepsis and cellulitis and almost lost my leg. The Vancomycin IV, hyperbaric oxygen, wound vacuum & multiple other current treatments weren't working well. When my doctor came to me & said to prepare myself, that they were going to amputate, something in me switched on. I decided I was done being sick and healed myself through meditation. For people in the medical field, don't doubt that human beings naturally have the ability to heal themselves. I too work in the medical field as a microbiology med lab tech. But I have have seen people heal themselves repeatedly. Modern medicine has its place. But the human body is vastly capable of so much more than we are aware or give credit to.

I thought it was ringworm to psoriasis the whole time. Now learning more about Staph it scares me. Especially how it can evolve and cause death. Let’s hope for the best here.

No worries you'll be alright, I've been diagnosed wrong for almost 3 years with nummular eczema and at the end of the day I've found oit myself that i have MRSA and Streptococcus pyogenes which both cause skin rash, recently it got into my bloodstream but i took heavy antibiotics (azithromycin) and now i just heal my lesions from the rash with mupirocin ointment. I believe you'll do great and don't stress about it. It will eventually get better with time. Also sea water helps heal the lesions.

This happens when you get a root canal and those infected pieces aerolisize from the drill and you breathe it in or swallow it when your dentist is doing the work... staphylococcus is basically inside teeth cavities those black cavities that spread it inside your body.... amoxicillin is the goto during this procedure

Basically, if a staphylococcus gets anywhere it shouldn't be, it causes alot if bad stuff.
Thank you for this Video👏👏. Are all the 5 toxins superantigens? TSST-1 and the enterotoxins when released systemically bind directly to class II major histocompatibility complexes of antigen-presenting cells outside the conventional antigen-binding grove. Then bind unspecifically to TCR having the Vb element. So this type of binding is unspecific.
one week after my c-section I got an email from my doctor saying I tested positive for this Staphylococcus I'm trying to find out what this is and if it's OK to breastfeed.
This bacteria has been detected in my throat. I don't know what to think or to feel. I have taken antibiotics but the bother continues in my throat. Please help what more to do 😢
will staph bacteria affect liver protein levels? M proteins?
