Staphylococcus aureus

There are many common things in life, but there are also many things that we cannot see, such as bacteria. There are many types of bacteria, and different bacteria have different effects on human health. Therefore, we should pay attention to our diet and hygiene in order to avoid bacteria from invading our bodies and causing health problems. What is Staphylococcus aureus?

Many people don’t know much about Staphylococcus aureus, and there are many different ways in which this bacteria spreads. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the appearance of such bacteria, otherwise it will cause various problems in the body.

Staphylococcus aureus:

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive spherical bacterium. Under the microscope, Staphylococcus aureus is arranged like grape bunches. It has no spores, flagella, and most of them have no capsules. It is a common pathogen that causes food poisoning. Commonly found on the skin surface and upper respiratory tract mucosa.

Mode of transmission

Generally speaking, Staphylococcus aureus can contaminate food through the following ways: food processing personnel, cooks or sales personnel carry the bacteria, causing food contamination; food itself carries the bacteria before processing, or is contaminated during processing, producing enterotoxins and causing food poisoning; cooked food products are not tightly packaged and are contaminated during transportation; when dairy cows suffer from suppurative mastitis or poultry and livestock have local suppuration, they contaminate other parts of the body.

Through the above introduction, we have some understanding of Staphylococcus aureus. Such bacteria are very harmful to human health, and such bacteria must be discovered in time when they appear. However, it should be noted that when such bacteria spread, it is easy for the human body to suffer from intestinal diseases, so you must also pay attention to hygiene when eating.
