Patient's question:
How is neonatal staphylococcal sepsis caused? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for treatment? How long does it take to recover? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Staphylococcus aureus is a group of Gram-positive cocci that are named for their tendency to form grape-like clusters. Most are non-pathogenic, while a few can cause diseases. They can cause pharyngitis, respiratory infections, and the respiratory systems of most newborns are not fully developed. Some strains form distinct transparent hemolytic zones around their colonies (β-hemolysis), while others do not cause hemolysis. Most hemolytic strains are highly pathogenic.
