How to know if i am carrier of staph bacteria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Culture : Of skin folds, axilla, groin, etc.. (surface cultures) and nasal vestibule. But Why? we all carry staph on our skin, and it won't be a surprise if it grows on Culture, unless you need to be treated for a certain condition, if you keep getting the infection. Regular personal hygiene is enough. Have a life and stop worrying
