Skin and Staph Infections
Staphylococcus aureus
(staph)
are bacteria that many healthy people carry
on their skin or in their nose.
Staph can sometimes cause serious infections
like pneumonia, blood, or joint infections, and deep skin infections.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA)
is a type of staph that is
not killed by penicillin and similar antibiotics. It causes skin infections
especially among school children. Students, faculty and staff at schools
should be sensitive to the possibility of disease transmission.
The California Department of Public Health has released information to
address the concerns of the educational community in California about
MRSA.
