how does staphylococcus Aurea's organism appear in a human body?
Question:
Answers:
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium. It is microscopic and so you won't be able to see it. It can be found on almost any body surface and is a common organism on human skin.
When it is kept out by our defences, it does not cause any troubles or illness at all. It can multiply on our skin and get washed off, or compete with the other bacteria on our skin.
However, when it penetrates our defences (skin, the lining of our air passages (nose, windpipe, bronchi), and the (gastric acid of the) stomach) it can cause quite nasty diseases including:
skin infections: abscesses, boils, cellulitis, folliculitis "school sores"
pneumonia (infection in the lung) - particularly an abscess forming pneumonia
endocarditis (infection in the heart)
septic arthritis (infection in a joint)
osteomyelitis (infection in a bone)
toxic shock syndrome
staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome
yup..its normal for human to have staph aureus on the skin..so u sually staph aureus infections starts off in the skin
some,though, especially systemically are very serious,such as
1)toxic-shock syndrome in menstruating females using tampons,
2)food poisoning-very common, because they dont change the smell or taste of food (usually with protein and carbohydrate rich food)
3)septicemia
those are the most common ones.
The staph organism is a natural one living on skin surfaces. If the organism is not removed through special washes before a surgery, it will enter the body and live there thus becoming an anaerobic entity, very destructive and sometimes deadly. This is the 'body eating organism' one reads about. If anyone is going to have surgery, make sure that special washes are given to the person by the surgeon or his/her nurse so that this can be prevented. Antibiotics after the fact don't always work and the trouble may persist for years causing great pain and worry as well as further surgeries to remove diseased tissue.
