Stsph infection in anus area. what caused it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Staph aureus: You are colonized with this organism in the GI tract and perhaps in the nasopharynx and the skin surface. Any time you then have a break in the integument (skin and mucous membranes) it provides an opportunity for this bacteria to enter and produce disease.
