  •  infections of hair follicle or skin gland
  •  known as boil
Term

Definition
  • caused by Staphylococcus aureus-Gram (+)
  •  severe infection involving sucutaneous(deepest layer of integumentary system that is under dermis) at nape of neck, upper back, or buttocks

  •  meiobomian gland (modified sebaceous gland at rim of eyelids) infected by Staph aureus
Term
Impetigo
Definition
  • Caused by Staphylococcus aureus- Gram (+)
  • lesions that usually starts on face/nose and is spread from scratching- is also causes by streptococcus pyogenes (common in kids)
Term
SSSS- Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome
Definition

  • strain of staph aureus that contains plasmid (packet of DNA separate from chromosomal DNA and can replicated itself) for exfoliatin
  • exfoliatin cause skin to peel off exposing reddened area beneath- infants and kids are affected most-occurs by mouth and nose and can spread
Term
