From the Greek staphyle (bunch of grapes) and kokkos (berry), Staphylococcus is a genus of gram-positive spherical bacteria that commonly cause surgical and skin infections, respiratory disease, and food poisoning. In 1880, Scottish surgeon Sir Alexander Ogston first described staphylococci in puss from a surgical abscess in a knee joint he said, “the masses looked like bunches of grapes.” In 1884, German physician Friedrich Julius Rosenbach differentiated the bacteria by the color of their colonies: S. aureus (from the Latin aurum, gold) and S. albus (Latin for white). S. albus was later renamed S. epidermidis because of its ubiquity on human skin.

It is the leading cause of skin and soft tissue infections such as abscesses (boils), furuncles, and cellulitis. Although most staph infections are not serious, S. aureus can cause serious infections such as bloodstream infections, pneumonia, or bone and joint infections.

Rash on swollen skin that varies in color depending on your skin color

Small, raised bumps, on brown or Black skin

Oozing and crusting

Thickened skin

Darkening of the skin around the eyes

Treatments includes:
The main treatment is antibiotics. Sometimes surgery is needed. Medications such as antibiotics and Penicillin. Surgery such as valve replacement in your heart.

Treatment depends on severity

Treatment includes avoiding soap and other irritants. Certain creams or ointments also may provide relief from the itching.
Medications such as steroid, antihistamine, and topical antiseptic. Self-care such as ultraviolet light therapy, Barrier cream, PUVA, Urea, Coal tar extract, and Moisturizer

Bacterial prevention includes:

1. Wash your hands. Thorough hand washing is your best defense against germs

2. Keep wounds covered

3. Reduce tampon risks

4. Keep personal items personal

5. Wash clothing and bedding

6. Take food safety precautions

Symptoms of endocarditis can vary from person to person. Endocarditis may develop slowly or suddenly. It depends on the type of germs causing the infection and whether there are other heart problems.

Common symptoms of endocarditis include:

Aching joints and muscles

Chest pain when you breathe

Fatigue and shortness of breath

Flu-like symptoms, such as fever and chills

Night sweats

Swelling in the feet, legs or belly

A new or changed whooshing sound in the heart (murmur)

Less common endocarditis symptoms can include:

Unexplained weight loss

Blood in the urine

Tenderness under the left rib cage (spleen)

Painless red, purple or brown flat spots on the soles bottom of the feet or the palms of the hands

Painful red or purple bumps or patches of darkened skin (hyperpigmented) on the tips of the fingers or toes (Osler nodes)

Tiny purple, red or brown round spots on the skin (petechiae), in the whites of the eyes or inside the mouth

Know as AD, is a common condition where infants or adults experience high rates of colonization of their skin surfaces by S. aureus. In severe AD there is a potential risk of staphylococcal bacteremia and invasive infection such as acute endocarditis.

Endocarditis is a life-threatening inflammation of the inner lining of the heart's chambers and valves.

Endocarditis is usually caused by an infection. Bacteria, fungi or other germs like S. aureus get into the bloodstream and attach to damaged areas in the heart.
