What Is a Staph Infection?
5. Bacteremia
Bacteremia is a condition where the patient’s bloodstream has become infected, and staph is a relatively common cause of the condition. In most cases, the patient will have had a staph infection somewhere in the body, only for the bacteria to then spread to the blood.
Bacteremia, which is also known as a bloodstream infection, is a potentially very serious condition. This is partly because the infection can easily spread to other parts of the body where it can do a lot of harm to the body. Body parts potentially infected by bacteremia include muscles, bones, pacemakers, artificial joints, and internal organs.
