Stappylococcus Aureus

Remember when our parents used to advice us to wash our hands before we eat or even after you use the toilet or even dermatologist claims that not to touch your face much since it form pimples on your face? Well, it kinda make sense that we do provide shelter to the tiny, little microbes that are naked to our eyes. So what are those microbes? Basically it’s E.coli, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and Stappylococcus Aureus.

Today we are just gonna do a little browse on S. Aureus. Staph is a cite to assemblage of grapes that shapes the bacteria while coccus defined as a spherical bacterium. The aureus is from its golden color.

What do you need to know about them?

It is up to 20% of the human population may be a carrier to this bacteria. You can get a staph infection from someone else or by touching items with the bacteria on them. Staph infections can be mild or lethal. Staph bacteria that get into your bloodstream can cause issues in your organs. Doctors treat staph infections with antibiotics Many staph infections are resistant to prevalent antibiotics.

Where do you find them actually?

In a laboratory study Beauty Co Clean was clinically proven to effectively remove S. Aureus, P. Aeuroginosa and E.Coli ( types of bacteria too). These bacterium were found on makeup from personal makeup bags and in-store tester displays. They are the culprits of causing random redness pimples during important events and you are forced to cover them up with another layer of foundation. Eventually ending up with 5 inches thickness of foundation, like wow congratulations you are just inviting more acnes on your face!

Do you know that the natural oils from your within your skin carry bacteria to the skin’s surface to be cleaned away, but some of that oil stays behind. So, when you use your brush on your blush, apply to one cheek, then “double-dip” the same brush to do the other cheek, those oils (and their bacteria) are transferred onto the blush. Obviously, you can’t blame those acnes popping out on your face, since you’re the reason why you are causing the pimples to appear more.

Students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, Nigeria found that in toothbrushes where Staphylococcus aureus was predominantly isolated (30%) from the toothbrushes. In view of the fact that these organisms are pathogenic and could be a potential health hazard, adequate rinsing and air-drying of the toothbrushes before storage will minimize the incidence of these bacteria and the health risk associated with them.

Lastly it is very important to give a handshake when you meet or even to congratulate someone, but do you know we human beings are the walking Petri dish of bacteria, carrying them all around us and spreading them to other individuals as well. Some people have staph bacteria on their skin or in their nose but have no symptoms. These people are called carriers. Carriers can spread the bacteria to other people and give them an infection. People who work in hospitals or are patients in hospitals are more likely to be carriers. Staph infections can spread easily by touching another person who has the infection and touching objects with the bacteria on them (such as gym equipment, telephones, door knobs, remote controls, or elevator buttons). You don’t feel cool reading this? Don’t worry Hand Sanitizer plays a crucial in reducing all those microbes.

However, staph can move through your bloodstream and infect almost any place in your body such as the valves in your heart and your bones. Staph also may stick to medical devices in your body, such as a pacemaker, an artificial joint, or heart valve.

What are the symptoms of staph infections?

If you have a staph infection on your skin, you may have:

· Pain and redness of your skin (cellulitis)

· Itchy or painful blisters filled with white or yellow fluid that break and leave crusts (impetigo)

· Painful, pus-filled swellings under your skin (abscesses)

If you have a staph infection somewhere else on your body, you may have other symptoms:

· Breast infection: Pain, redness, and abscesses (pockets of pus) on the breast, which are common in breastfeeding mothers usually 1 to 4 weeks after beginning to breastfeed (mastitis)

· Lung infection: Often a high fever, shortness of breath, and a cough with bloody spit (pneumonia)

· Blood infection: High fever and sometimes a dangerously low drop in blood pressure (shock), which often happens in people with severe burns

· Heart valve infection: Fever and shortness of breath (endocarditis) — this can be deadly

· Bone infection: Chills, fever, bone pain, and redness and swelling in the skin above the bone (osteomyelitis)
