    GlossaryStaphylococcal infections

    bacterial infections often found on skin or in nose

    Staphylococcal infections, commonly known as Staph infections, are caused by Staphylococcus bacteria, which are often found on the skin or in the nose of healthy individuals. These infections can range from minor skin issues, like boils and impetigo, to more severe conditions such as bloodstream infections, pneumonia, and toxic shock syndrome. Staph infections are particularly concerning in healthcare settings due to the potential for antibiotic resistance, such as with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

      The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.
