How Is Staph Infection Transmitted?
Staph often exists on skin and mucus membranes, without causing noticeable illness. However, under the right circumstances staphylococcus can cause serious, or even fatal, disease. Because these bacteria live comfortably on people or on non-organic surfaces, you can easily contract the infection from another person, an inanimate object, or even from staphylococcus bacteria living on your skin.
