A staph infection of the skin is caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus, which lives on the skin or in the nose. It is also referred to as golden staph. This common infection often begins when a little cut on the skin gets infected with the bacteria. It can become very serious if the bacteria is able to invade deeper parts of the body, such as the blood, bones, lungs, or heart. It is also highly infectious as the bacteria can be transmitted from one person to another and live on objects that the infection may have touched, such as towels or bedding.
