    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).
