    This document discusses Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and the significance of microbiology in nursing. It describes S. aureus as a common bacteria found on the skin and a leading cause of skin and soft tissue infections. It notes that E. coli typically lives in the intestines but some strains can cause infections spreading through food, water, or contact. The document concludes that understanding microbiology allows nurses to properly diagnose and treat infected patients, develop drugs, and ensure sterilization and sanitation in healthcare settings.

    What is Staphylococcus aureus or “staph” is a type of
    Staphylococcus bacteria found on human skin, in the nose, armpit,
    groin, and other areas.
    Aureus? Staphylococcus aureus is spread by touching
    infected blood or body fluids, most often by
    contaminated hands.

    .
    S. aureus is the leading cause of skin and soft

    .. tissue infections, such as abscesses, boils,


    furuncles, and cellulitis (red, swollen, painful, warm
    skin).

    S. aureus germs can also cause infections in the


    bloodstream, endocarditis (infection of the inner
    lining of the heart chambers and heart valves),
    pneumonia, bone, and joint illnesses, as well as
    more severe infections.
    What is Escherichia Coli is a particular kind of bacterium
    that typically resides in the intestines, where it
    Escherichia helps in the body's digestion and breakdown of
    food.
    Coli? Escherichia coli, however, comes in a variety of
    kinds (or strains) (causing infections that can
    spread to others). They can spread from infected
    individuals or animals as well as through tainted
    food and water sources.

    .. . Escherichia coli can produce extremely painful,


    bloody diarrhea. Sometimes they also result in
    sepsis, bacteremia (a bacterial infection in the
    blood), meningitis, pneumonia, and urinary tract
    infections (a dangerous full-body response to
    bacteremia). Particularly in extremely young or
    very old persons, or in those with weakened
    immune systems, certain infections can cause
    major health issues.
    Significance of Microbiology
    in the Nursing Profession
    Nurses can use their knowledge in microbiology in the
    medical field to produce drugs, diagnose patients, and
    use sterilization and sanitation techniques.

    Nurses can use their understanding of microbiology to


    handle patients and their samples that are infected with
    communicable diseases while keeping them free of
    pathogens.
