Diseases Caused by Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus is a disease causing bacterium, found on the surface of skin, nose or eyes of people infected by it. Staphylococcus diseases range from minor staph skin infections like, pimples, boils or cellulitis to fatal illnesses like pneumonia, meningitis, endocarditis and septicemia.
Vancomycin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus – VRSA
VRSA staph infections are rare, since most times staph infections can be treated by Vancomycin. Very few antibiotics can be recommended for treatment of VRSA and with the passage of time even these antibiotics are not effective enough. Vancomycin Resistant Staphylococcus constantly develops resistance to antibiotics used against them and hence become difficult to treat using any medicine.
