    GlossaryStaphylococcus aureus (Staph aureus)

    bacteria causing skin infections and sometimes serious diseases

    Staphylococcus aureus, often referred to as S. aureus or Staph aureus, is a type of bacteria commonly found on the skin and in the nasal passages of healthy individuals. While it can be harmless, it is also capable of causing a range of infections, from minor skin conditions like boils and impetigo to more serious infections such as pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and toxic shock syndrome. It is particularly notable for its ability to develop resistance to antibiotics, with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) being a well-known example.
