Staph infection: Staph. Is a bacteria that lives on all of us and is not usually a problem. It is only a problem if it is resistant to antibiotics and causing an infection. Staph. Has caused infections since before there were antibiotics "blood poisoning" could be from staph. Like all normal bacteria most staph is not a problem.
