Staphylococcus aureus, often referred to as "Staph," is a type of bacteria that can cause food poisoning. It is a versatile human pathogen capable of causing a variety of illnesses, including staphylococcal food poisoning, toxic shock syndrome, pneumonia, postoperative wound infection, and nosocomial bacteremia.
In case you are experiencing Staph food poisoning symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
