I found the following report on a disease known as Staph

Recently doctors in Los Ageles have been seeing an increasing number of patients with skin infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus ("staph") bacteria that are resistant to many antibiotics. The los angeles county dep[artment of health services is working with doctors and other healthcare providers to better understand why this i happenning an how to prevent antibiotic resistant staph from spreading.

What is Staph infection

Staph is a bacteria copmmonly found on human skin. Sometimes it does not cause any problems, sometimes it causes minor infections such as pimples or boils. Staph skin infections often begin with an in jury to the skin. Staph enters through the skin weakened by the injury and develops into an ifection. Symptoms of staph infection include redness warth swelling tenderness of the skin boils and blisters.

How do staph skin infections spead?

The cleanest person can get staph infection. Staph can rub off the skin of an infected person onto the skin of another person during prolonged skin to skin contact between them.Or the staph can come off of the infectd skin of a person onto commonly shared objects nd surfaces and get onto the skin of a person who uses it next. Example of commonly shared objects include personal hygiene objects such as towels soap clothes benches in saunas or hot ubs and atrhletic equipment in othr words anything that could have touched the skin of a staph infected person can carry the bacteria to the skin of another person

How can i prevent myself from getting infected?

Avoid prolonged skin to skin contact with anyone you suspect could have a staph skin infection. Do not share personal items ith other people. Clean objects and surfaces that you share with other people such as the itms listed above (in previous paragreaph) before using.

What should i do if i think i have a staph skin infection?

If you susp[erct thatr you might have staphg skin infectin, coult your doctor or healthgcare provider as soon as possible. Early treatment can be help prevent the infection from getting worse. Be sure to follow each direction from yor doctor or healthcare provider closely even when you start to feel better. Weak opr inomplete treatments of staph infections lead to stronger anibiotic resistant bacteria

If my healthcare provider has told me that i have an antiboitic reistant staph infection what can i do to keep others from getting infected?

You can prevent the spreading by following these simple steps.

1, Keep the infected area covered with clean dry bandage pus from infected wounds is very infectious
2, Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water espcially after changing your bandages or touching the infected skin.
3, Regularly clean your bathroom and peronal items. Wash linens and clothes that become soiled with HOT WATER and bleach, when possible. Dying clothes in a hot dryer than air drying also helps kill bacteria in clothes.
4,Tell any healtyhcare providers who treatr you that you have an antiboitic resistant staph skinb infection.
