Humans are natural hosts for many bacterial species that colonize the skin as normal flora. The skin acts as an excellent barrier against bacterial infections and when they do occur, they are mild and easily treatable; however some can become very serious and even life threatening. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes are uncommon, but they account for a wide variety of bacterial pyodermas [1]. Some bacterial infections can be contagious as well. In this paper, 40 patients were presented with a visible skin infection, and all have similar manifestations of symptoms. These patients do not seem to be responding to the current antimicrobial therapy. The following will be studying into different methodologies to analyze that these patients suffer from a kind of …show more content…
In this fashion large amounts of specific genes or portions of genes can be generated and readily detected [13].
Staph aureus is a common and normally harmless bacteria, which up to a third of healthy people carry on their skin or in their nose without even realising it. Many people also carry the resistant form of the bacteria, MRSA, without experiencing any ill effects. It is only when these bacteria get inside the body – for example, through a wound or surgical incision, that they cause infection.
According to the CDC, studies show that about one in three people carry staph in their nose, usually without any illness. Two in 100 people carry MRSA. There are no data showing the total number of people who get MRSA skin infections in the community. Often, people first think the area is a spider bite; however, unless a spider is actually seen, the irritation is likely not a spider bite. Most staph skin infections, including MRSA, appear as a bump or infected area on the skin that might be, red, swollen, painful, warm to the touch, full of pus or other drainage, and accompanied by a fever
