I forgot to mention that Staph aureus is part of the normal flora of human skin.

“I forgot to mention that Staph aureus is part of the normal flora of human skin.”

It’s not the normal everyday skin variety of staph that is the issue, it’s the mutated highly resistant varieties that are initiated and propagated by the repeated exposure to use of antibiotics. (ie. particularly Erythromycin, Tetracycline, Procaine Penicillin etc.)

Just because you are discrminating in your usage doesn’t mean that’s the norm. Antibiotics are often used as a crutch for poor management and there’s plenty of that out there.
