How does staphylococcus bacteria move from one tissue to another inside the body (not on the skin) while it is non-motile?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Staphylococcus aureus can invade into blood vessels and spread to other body sites through the blood stream (hematogenous spread). It can also spread by infection expanding into adjacent tissues ( contiguous spread).
