aureus or "staph" can cause a range of illnesses, from minor skin infections, such as acne pimples, impetigo, boils (furuncles), cellulitis folliculitis, carbuncles, scalded skin syndrome, and abscesses, to life-threatening diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, toxic shock syndrome (TSS), bacteremia, and sepsis. Our immune system and balance of "good" bacteria vs "bad" bacteria keeps us healthy and keeps staph from giving us active infection, most of the time, but in certain conditions will allow us to get a "staph infection" S.
You have heard of an organism called MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)? Staphylococcus aureus is a very common bacterial strain that lives on everybody's skin. The bacteria are exposed to this antibiotic but not enough to kill it off so it can actually build up a resistance and that antibiotic will no longer work on this specific strain of bacteria. If you do not take the full course, it leads to antibiotic resistance by the bacteria. This is why you should always take ALL of your pills even if you feel better before the course of treatment is over. You need a certain number of pills for a certain number of days to kill an infection. One of the biggest reasons is the fact that antibiotics have to be taken in a course. It is never a good idea to take unused antibiotics for a number of reasons.
They are no longer any good-get rid of them! With other classes of antibiotics, mainly age effects their potency by decreasing it so they are no longer effective but tetracyclines can actually harm you to take them because the chemical composition can become toxic. Absolutely! This group of antibiotics called tetracyclines can actually become toxic with age.
