Staph Blood

Staph blood and blood infections

Blood infections can occur when exposed to staph infection or other infected with staph people or tools

        The bacteria can be inside the body cells and hide there in a kind of hibernation, in which only the essential metabolic functions are maintained. In this way they can survive at least two weeks - unnoticed by the immune system and protected from the lethal effects of antibiotics. Only when the host cell dies, the germs get into the bloodstream and the infection can flare up.
The blood-borne staphylococcus aureus from primary outbreak is probably from local thrombophlebitis where coagulase plays a major role. The Coagulase binds the prothrombin to form a complex called staphylothrombine. This leads to complex staphylothrombinique polymerization of fibrinogen into fibrin and this leads to the formation of thrombus. The staphylokinase is a plasminogen activator to plasmin and has an opposite effect to that of the coagulase. It leads to the disruption of thrombus that is rich in bacteria and to the formation of secondary septic location.
