The GI tract is also known as the gut. Trillions of bacteria and tiny organisms, called flora, live there. In fact, the flora make up about 60% of our feces. Three main types of flora live in the gut:
In brief: Depends on severity. A tiny pimple or pustule on the skin, caused by regular staph, should heal up in 3-5 days after the pus comes out. A deeper abscess may take 1 week of treatment to clear up, and another week for the remaining wound to heal. People who have internal abscesses in their bodies, or have suppressed immune systems, can take several weeks of treatment with IV antibiotics (even longer in bone infections).
Health-Wire. Staphylococcus bacteria cause staph infection. This bacterial infection may occur in the skin, blood, or may include food poisoning, blood poisoning, pneumonia, or skin problems. MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is the most dangerous, hardest-to-treat staphylococcus bacteria.ome ways the staph bacteria causes bacterial infection: 1  The MRSA bacteria may cause many contagious skin infections or cellulitis. 2  These are transmitted from an infected person to others. 3  Sharing towels or extensive physical contact with a person infected by the MRSA bacterial infection can lead to staph infection.
