Hi Everyone,

I was wondering, do all CF kids culture Staph? Is Staph only cultured in the CF population, or is it also common umong non-CFer?

Thanks for your input!

EVERYONE (including healthy individuals) has staph in their bodies. In the general population, Staph. Aureus (what we normally call just "staph" is harmless. It stays mostly in a person's nasal passages or on their skin.

When a person is said to "culture" staph, it means that a sample of something (throat swab or sputum sample) shows more growth of staph aureus than is considered normal. When a person cultures staph, they are prescribed antibiotics as a way to control this particular form of bacterial overgrowth.

Staph infections are common in the non-CF world.

I have a theory: Since all people show staph aureus in the nasal passages, and how most CF's have sinus problems with drainage into the lungs, etc...I bet that is how most of us "get it".
