How do you get Staphylococcus aureus

According to the results of the research, more than 40% of the world population become carriers of Staphylococcus aureus. This infection causes formation of organisms, which can cause the development of many terrible diseases – sepsis, pneumonia, meningitis. When considering whether hazardous aureus, it should be noted that this pathogen is not killed when exposed to high temperatures, all modern antibiotics, develops in many organs and body systems. Even with ongoing treatment of Golden staph actively propagated after infection. That is why we shall consider in detail how is a staph infection what are the precautionary measures if there's the likelihood of complications.

What is the danger of infection?

You should consider the point that treating the infection is part of the normal microflora of the body. With a significant weakening of the immune system and creating the most favorable conditions for the development of the infection and can cause the development of inflammatory processes in almost all organs and tissues. We should note the following points:

1. Staphylococcus aureus has an extensive distribution.
2. Under certain circumstances, the pathogen may evolve, what determines significant complications when choosing a method of treatment.
3. Immediately after getting into a new environment, the virus is able to evolve quickly and to adapt that determines its resistance to therapy.

Despite the fact that for a long time, the problem practically does not manifest, at some point the virus can be activated and lead to serious diseases. Therefore, you should pay attention to how do you get staph infection and how the virus manifests itself.

Route of infection

Despite the extensive development of the virus, as almost every second person is a carrier, each considering certain information may not included in their number. Ways of infection are often associated with the spread of the virus through the skin, mucous membrane, airborne. While transmitted pathogen can through the blood.

As previously noted, only under certain circumstances there is the likelihood that the sick can only be infected under certain circumstances. Risk factors you can call the following points:

1. Lose body HIV infection, resulting in the body cannot fight off the pathogen.
2. Significant metabolic disorders, for example, diabetes.
3. With extensive lesions of the body, for example, after surgery, infection with Staphylococcus aureus can also cause a lot of problems.
4. During pregnancy significantly weakens the immune system, is a hormonal rebuilt, and then become infected with this virus may even insignificant everyday contact.
5. In childhood and old age, the immune system cannot effectively deal with the pathogen.
6. Lactation can also be infected with casual contact or airborne droplets.

   

Therefore, in consideration of Staphylococcus aureus as it passed, it should be noted that the catch can be almost all people. However, many have the immune system that fights the pathogen. In many ways, the population becomes a passive vehicle.

In most cases infected with staph following ways:

1. Airborne.
2. Contact, for example via a contact.
3. Through his food.

The above determine that the risk group also includes almost all people.

What are preventive measures?

As previously noted, Staphylococcus aureus is transmitted in almost all ways. The viability of the microorganism is preserved even in the dried state for 6 months. The causative agent can be located in the dust and live at least 100 days. Prolonged exposure to low temperature also leads to the fact that the virus dies. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight also kills the pathogen. You should consider the following points:

1. At a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius, the virus survives for 1 hour.
2. The effect of temperature of 80 degrees Celsius allows you to kill the pathogen within 20 minutes.
3. When exposed to a boiling point, the pathogen is killed almost instantly.

A possible method of solving the problem is to use green stuff, as well as a 5% solution of phenol. For 30 minutes, the pathogen dies. This method of destruction of the virus used in case of cuts and abrasions, in the disinfection of variousthings'.

Effective prevention methods can be called:

1. You need to follow all the rules of proper nutrition, which is to eliminate vitamin a deficiency. If the immune system is healthy, the infection does not manifest itself.
2. After tissue damage should immediately conduct disinfection of the surface.
3. Must adhere to sanitary standards. If the skin is clean and has no damage, the pathogen dies within 6 minutes. Therefore, you should wash your hands with soap and water, time to clean things and toys of children.

   

Special attention is paid to the fact that infectious carrier often is in the hospital, clinics, public institutions. That is why in some institutions impose strict hygiene regulations. Contagious person does not show symptoms, can be found only after conducting certain studies on the detection of antibodies. Staph is in the body for many years and not show up. Therefore, there should be periodic testing for the presence of viruses in the body.
