Content: Causes of Human Staphylococcal Infections
There are only a few different types of Staphylococcusbacteria known to cause infections in humans. Four of them include: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), the most common type of staph infection 
Staphylococcus epidermidis, a primary cause of infections in the hospital 
Staphylococcus saprophyticus, a common cause of urinary tract infections(UTIs) in young adult women 
Staphylococcus lugdunensis, infections that can range from minor to life-threatening. Some Staphylococcusbacteria are resistant to certain antibiotics. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA for short, is a type of Staphylococcusthat is resistant to antibiotics called beta-lactams. Beta-lactam antibiotics include methicillin and other, more common antibiotics, such as oxacillin, penicillin, and amoxicillin(Amoxil®). While 25 to 30 percent of the population is colonized with staph, approximately 1 to 2 percent is colonized with MRSA. S. hominis, S. haemolyticus, S. warneri, and S. simulans are four other types that can cause staph infections in humans, but they are more rare. Advertisement
