Medicine knows saprophytic and epidermal staphylococci, which are harmless microbes that occupy the skin and mucous membranes of each Rights. These representatives of microflora can be found in breast milk during lactation without causing any harm to either mom or baby. A terrible microbe that makes parents tremble is considered to be staphylococcus aureus. The child against him has his own defenses. In a healthy mother during breastfeeding, too, the immune system copes with this genus of bacteria. Staphylococcus is divided into several strains, some of them are absolutely harmless. But there is also a rather dangerous hemolyzing form of the bacterium. Staphylococcus aureus in a child can appear due to contact with particles of dust, any surface (clothing, furniture, toys). It's not dangerous - the baby's antibodies interfere with the justification of the bacteria in the body. Staphylococcus aureus can be present in it in scant amounts, without creating discomfort for health.
Is this bacterium dangerous? Any flora of a pathogenic nature (not only Staphylococcus aureus) can become active and cause a painful condition in the event of weakening of the immune system. The following factors can lead to this situation:
- infections, some antibiotics and hormones, malnutrition, stressful situations during pregnancy;
- immaturity, prematurity of the fetus, later application of the baby to the breast, feeding by artificial means.
In such cases, staphylococcus aureus in a child can penetrate into different systems and organs. The bacterium is capable of causing an inflammatory process, an allergic reaction and disturbances in the functioning of the intestine.
How to cure Staphylococcus aureus? This genus of bacteria can be treated with antibiotics. The course of treatment should be appointed by the doctor after examining the crops from wounds and fluids released from the body biologically. You can also find Staphylococcus aureus in feces. After the discovery of a pathogenic microorganism, a course of therapy begins. The difficulty lies in the fact that staphylococcus aureus in a child has the property of ignoring drugs that have antibacterial action. Treatment in this case becomes difficult, especially if the bacterium has infected the baby. For this reason, after a well-established diagnosis in both children and adults, a mandatory study is conducted on the sensitivity of the microorganism to antibiotics. After this, a course of therapy is prescribed, which must be completed completely. Otherwise, Staphylococcus aureus will not die in any organ in full, and its habituation to the drug will occur. Quite interesting is the fact that this type of bacterium with such a rejection of many medicines is susceptible to some aniline dyes. The main enemy of Staphylococcus aureus, which leads to the formation of purulent damage to the surface of the skin, is a solution of a green diamond.
