Both black mold and staph can be harmful to human health, so it's important to address any mold issues and practice good hygiene to prevent staph infections.

Does staphylococcus aureus have an infect on the human body?

Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that is usually found on the skin at any given time. Staph is harmless unless it is colonized. Colonization occurs when the bacteria enters the body and begins to replicate itself. Once colonization occurs, staph seemingly takes on a life of its own and begins feeding on the body. Staph infections then take on the role as a parasite; needing to feed on its host to stay alive. If left untreated, staph can grow exponentially. Staph colonies usually stay together unless the nutrients in its host are depleted. The dangerous aspect of staph, is when it colonizes other parts of the body. In these cases, staph can attach itself to major organs causing havoc in the host's body, possibly leading to death of its host.
