Staphylococcus (STAFF-ih-low-KOCK-us) aureus (ARE-ee-us) is a type of bacteria, or germ. These bacteria are often called âstaph.â Staph bacteria can live in the nose and on the skin.1 in 5 people have these bacteria. In most cases, Staph bacteria cause no infection.But in some people, Staph can cause serious infections such as pneumonia, wound infections, and blood infections. Methicillin (meth-ih-SILL-in) is an antibiotic often used to treat Staph infections.When Staph is âmethicillin resistant,â most antibiotics cannot kill the bacteria. Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus bacteria are called âMRSAâ for short.n most cases, Staph bacteria cause no infection. But in some people, Staph can cause serious infections such as pneumonia, wound infections, and blood infections. Methicillin (meth-ih-SILL-in) is an antibiotic often used to treat Staph infections.
