Staphylococcus aureus in a child's mouth treatment. Why is this bacterium dangerous? What is staphylococcus

Staphylococcus aureus in the mouth can weaken the general immunity of an adult and a child. Under certain conditions, it can cause discomfort or an infectious disease. It is known for its resilience and survivability in the human body and the environment.

What is staphylococcus?

Staphylococcus (Staphylococcus) is a bacterium of the Staphylococcus family, has the shape of a ball with a size of 0.6-1.2 microns. Staphylococcus bacteria are immobile microorganisms, natural inhabitants of the human body, able to exist without oxygen. The most common colors are:

• violet;
• golden;
• yellow;
• white.

The most dangerous type of bacteria is considered. Most of the photos on the Internet illustrating staphylococci depict this type of microorganism.

Opportunistic pathogens in a small amount are present in every person. Staphylococci are usually located on the skin, in the oropharynx and nasopharynx.
Contact with infection can occur:

• by airborne droplets;
• household contact;
• through medical instruments;
• air-dust;
• through dirty hands and food.

The penetration of the infection inside weakens the body, contributes to the excitation of pathologies of organs and systems, especially with weak immunity.

The most famous types of antibiotics and preparations containing them:

More often, antibiotics are used for inflammatory and infectious diseases, including those caused by staphylococcus and other bacteria.

The dosage can only be prescribed by a doctor, based on a number of indicators:

• the severity of the disease;
• weight and age of the patient;
• features of kidney function.

Is it possible to cure the infection with folk methods?

Infection of the oral mucosa at the initial stage can be treated with decoctions, even in the presence of painful sores.

1. Chamomile decoction. Pour 2 teaspoons of flowers with a glass of boiling water. Cover and let steep 5 minutes. Strain the solution, rinse your mouth during the day, as often as possible.
2. Decoction of calendula. Solution at the rate of 1 teaspoon per glass of water, boil for 10 minutes in a water bath. Let it brew for 1 hour. Filter the decoction, rinse your mouth.
3. Decoction of St. John's wort. 2 teaspoons pour a glass of boiling water and leave for 30 minutes. After the solution is filtered and used as directed.
4. A decoction from the collection(ledum, yarrow, succession, thyme, birch buds) - 1 tbsp. Pour boiling water over a spoonful of raw materials, leave for 2 hours.

The natural drug Chlorphyllipt, made on the basis of eucalyptus, can be attributed to the same category. It is prescribed to patients of different age categories. The tool removes inflammation, acts against microbes.

Help for pregnant women and children

Children and expectant mothers are most susceptible to oral diseases, since their immune functions are reduced, and the choice of drugs for treatment is limited.

In this case, as well as in the treatment of children, it is advisable to prescribe. One of the popular solutions is Intesti-bacteriophage.

Preventive measures in adults and children

And here is my story

All this began to accumulate and I realized that I was moving in some wrong direction. I began to lead a healthy lifestyle, eat right, but this did not affect my well-being. The doctors couldn't say much either. It seems like everything is normal, but I feel that my body is not healthy.

A couple of weeks later, I came across an article on the Internet. literally changed my life. I did everything as it is written there and after a few days, I felt significant improvements in my body. I began to get enough sleep much faster, the energy that I had in my youth appeared. The head no longer hurts, there was clarity in the mind, the brain began to work much better. Digestion has improved, despite the fact that I now eat haphazardly. I passed the tests and made sure that no one else lives in me!

7 simple rules help to minimize the occurrence and development of staphylococcal infections:

• form healthy habits;
• dress according to the weather;
• comply with sanitary and household standards;
• eat in a balanced way;
• wash hands well after visiting public places and before eating;
• restore the immune system after antibiotic therapy;
• timely treat skin lesions with disinfectants.

Svetlana asks:

Hello! My daughter is 4.3 years old. They passed the analysis for bacteria from the nose and throat. Result: abundant growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Treatment: protargol in the nose 3 times a day for 10 days, staphylococcal bacteriophage in the nose 3 times a day for 10 days, zyrtec 5 drops a day for 7 days in the mouth, the amount of units is 125 ml 1 time per day for 5 days. Physico: quartz in the nose and pharynx. Please tell us whether the appointment is effective for us treatment. Since for 4 years we have been struggling with the diagnosis of sinusitis ENT made to us by a doctor before receiving a tank of analyzes.

Responsible Markov Artyom Igorevich:

Hello Svetlana! This prescription cannot cure Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (which is an exclusively nosocomial infection). The use of antibiotics is not effective and is contraindicated. The correct treatment is vaccination against Staphylococcus aureus and the use of an autovaccine against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. You can read more about the treatment on the website of our clinic. Dr. Artem Markov

Roman asks:

Hello. There is such a very intractable problem: Staphylococcus aureus in the mouth, plaque on the tongue, bad breath. A very long time, many years. Than just did not try to be treated: miramistin, staphylococcal bacteriophage, ciprolet, chlorphyllipt, folk remedies. Does not help. Otolaryngologists, who have had, all have their own approach to "treatment", it is very strange. So far, there have been no positive results. Recently I again went to another doctor with an analysis of a smear from the pharynx for sensitivity to a / b. Analysis results: Chuv. to gentamicin, clindamycin, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin; beta lactamase "+", not chuv. to beta-lactam a/b. The doctor prescribed the following treatment: 1) tsiprolet 500 mg, 2 times a day, 12 days; 2) pencarol 25 mg, 2 times a day, 10 days; 3) tsiprolet 0.3% (eye drops), instilled into the nose for 2-3 weeks; 4) tsiprolet 0.2%, irrigate the pharynx 3-4 r / d, 2 weeks. It is not clear whether to take all this sequentially or in parallel? Secondly, I have Gilbert’s syndrome, I don’t know how it will affect my health, but the general practitioner said that it’s better not to take antibiotics, but how then to be treated? Nothing helps.
Thanks in advance.

Responsible Gramatyuk Svetlana Nikolaevna:

Hello Roman. The cause of bad breath and plaque on the tongue may not be related to the detection of Staphylococcus aureus in the mouth. Consult with a dentist and gastroenterologist. 90% of a bad smell comes from the tongue, which is a vast breeding ground for bacteria. However, it can also be caused by dry mouth, medicines, bad teeth, and even certain diseases. The simplest and most effective way to combat bad breath is regular hygiene: brush your teeth at least 2 times a day with a brush and floss, remove bacteria from your tongue, and finally rinse your mouth with an antibacterial elixir. All the best to you.

asks Kupriyanov Sergey:

My wife was found to have Staphylococcus aureus in her mouth and nose, as well as in her eyes. Are there any methods of treating staphylococcus with bacteriophages? The experience of treatment with antibiotics does not give a positive result.

Answers:

Hello Sergey! Staphylococcus aureus is a representative of the normal flora of the human body and is often found in bacteriological studies. This microbe is transmitted through household contacts, as well as through food and water. Since Staphylococcus aureus belongs to the group of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms, in some cases it can cause diseases (tonsillitis, food poisoning, pustular diseases). However, for the development of diseases, it is necessary that changes occur in the host organism that allow staphylococcus to manifest its pathogenic properties. These changes include damage to the skin and mucous membranes, metabolic disorders, changes in the functioning of the immune system. Staphylococci very quickly adapt to various antibiotics (become insensitive), therefore, antibacterial treatment of staphylococcus is either not carried out at all or is carried out only after a study of the flora for sensitivity. Treatment of staphylococcus and staphylococcal infection with bacteriophage, staphylococcal anatoxin, bifido drugs has been carried out for a long time, doctors have already accumulated sufficient experience in the use of these drugs. Seek advice from an infectious disease specialist. Be healthy!

Michael asks:

Good afternoon.
I am 32, my throat has been bothering me since childhood, there were frequent sore throats from ice cream, cold water, etc. Plus, my right tonsil is constantly enlarged, and halitosis. I drank Ornidazole for urology and noticed that the smell was gone, but ... after 5-7 days it returned again. Passed a swab from the throat - staphylococcus aureus 10 * 2 1s.r. and staphylococcus a-hemolytic 10*4 3 s.r. Tell me this is a lot and is it worth treating with an antibiotic? Plus, the nose breathes with one nostril (alternately, there is no discharge from the nose), is this normal? And in the ears and on the eyebrows some kind of peeling. The doctor says less sweet and not wet. It's enough? Is there any treatment and what tests should be taken?

Responsible Medical consultant of the portal "site":

Hello Michael! The results of bakposev show the presence of pathogenic microflora, which is the cause of a chronic inflammatory process in the palatine tonsils and pharyngeal mucosa. This process requires treatment with antibiotics, selected according to the results of the antibiogram. Treatment should be prescribed by an ENT doctor. He will also determine the cause of the violation of the new breathing (inflammation, polyps, curvature of the new septum, chronic sinusitis, etc.). As for the peeling of the skin in the ears and on the eyebrows, there can be many reasons for this (from hypovitaminosis to endocrine and fungal diseases) and it is impossible to determine the real cause in absentia. With this problem, you should contact a face-to-face appointment with a dermatologist. Take care of your health!

Oksana asks:

Hello! I am 25 weeks pregnant! I passed the sowing from the oral cavity and nose, found: from the nose, Staphylococcus aureus in abundant quantities, from the mouth - Staphylococcus aureus in moderate quantities and Streptococcus salivarius in abundant quantities, shortly before that, she suffered some kind of illness similar to poisoning - high fever, pain in the stomach and several days of loose stools, it was not possible to call a doctor, she was treated with smects and fasting.
The doctor prescribed the antibiotic Suprax, the ENT doctor advised to drip with chlorophyllipt and myromistin, wait a while with antibiotics. Tell me what treatment will be more effective, is it worth delaying with antibiotics and are they needed in this case? Why are these "cokes" scary for the future child? Thank you

Responsible Shidlovsky Igor Valerievich:

I understand that you are healthy, and this is a healthy carriage. Outside of pregnancy, it should be treated only if the person has a sharp decrease in immunity or can be a source of infection (cook, doctor...). In case of pregnancy, there is a threat of infection of the child, the threat of mastitis, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to treat. Inside the antibiotic is superfluous. Discuss with your doctor the possibility of using: Bactroban ointment, oil chlorophyllipt, quartz tube in the nose.

Elena asks:

Good afternoon!

Staphylococcus aureus 10 * 5 was found in the husband's throat (from the nose, ears, and other places, the analysis did not pass). The ENT doctor prescribed the following treatment regimen:
1) Aqua Maris - 3 r / d in total 7 days
2) Staphylococcal bacteriophage in the nose - 5 drops 2 times a day for only 10 days
3) Miramistin in the mouth - 3 r / d in total 7 days
4) Imudon

QUESTION: how optimal is this treatment regimen and can I undergo treatment according to this regimen without tests? I am a wife, I did not take tests myself, but I think that I am 100% infected, because. I have constant contact with my husband.

Responsible Bozhko Natalya Viktorovna:

good day, Elena! It is very difficult to comment on the choice of drug treatment in this case. The fact is that on the basis of exclusively bacteriological research data, it is impossible to talk about specific drugs. Your doctor has chosen this treatment regimen, based not only on the fact of the presence of Staphylococcus aureus. Here it is important to take into account the data of an objective examination, detailing complaints and studying the history of the disease itself. Theoretically, the presented treatment regimen "has the right" to life and should be effective. It is important to understand that the strengthening of general immunity, a proper lifestyle, a balanced diet and the absence of bad habits are of no small importance. And finally, you and other people who have constant close contact with your husband would also be desirable to perform a microbiological study. But it is not at all necessary that Staphylococcus aureus will populate your mucous membrane. Be healthy!

Konstantin asks:

Good afternoon!
I have chronic tonsillitis, which I was able to press down with the vacuum aspiration method of tonsil lacunae (2nd year the situation is stable). Also suffered from sinusitis every winter. At the moment, the symptoms are the following: difficulty breathing through the nose, persistent brown / green discharge from the nose, white coating on the tongue, burning sensation in the mouth, bad breath, the initial stage of gingivitis (not sure if all these symptoms are related, so I write in detail). Passed the sowing from the nose and pharynx, sowed the following:
Escherichia coli 10^3 CUOMl
Staphylococcus aureus 10^6 CUOMl

As far as he managed to understand, the indicator of staphylococcus 10 ^ 6 is very high. What is Escherichia coli and how is it treated along with staphylococcus aureus? I want to cure once and for all, in the right way. I read the comments of doctors on this matter, which says that the treatment of staphylococcus with antibiotics is not recommended because "staphylococci develop resistance to antibiotics and become almost invulnerable to standard antibiotic therapy" and therefore need to be treated with vaccines and phages.
I want to first take a course of "cuckoo" with a chlorophyllipt solution in order to prepare / clear the ground for the use of phages and vaccines. But at such a concentration (10^6), maybe it is worth taking a course of antibiotics before starting treatment with phages and during the "cuckoo"? Please, tell me, am I going in the right direction? Correct me if I don't understand something? thanks a lot in advance!

Responsible Medical consultant of the portal "site":

Hello! You are going in the wrong direction, and your main (fundamental) mistake is that without the appropriate education, you are trying to cope with such serious diseases as chronic tonsillitis and sinusitis on your own. Even turning to online consultants does not correct the situation. We can only give you general information about the treatment of ENT diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus (you have already read them in the article and answers to questions from other visitors), but only your ENT doctor can prescribe an individual treatment for you during an in-person consultation. The treatment regimen is selected for a particular patient. Escherichia coli in a titer of 10 * 3 degrees has no clinical significance, the main problem is Staphylococcus aureus. Go see an ENT doctor. Take care of your health!

Alexandra asks:

Hello! Help, please, deal with the problem. We are planning a pregnancy with my husband, I really want to endure and give birth to a healthy baby. I am 24 years old, from the age of 16-17 I began to worry about acne (the diagnosis of a dermatologist was papulo-pustular acne). She underwent treatment, namely, she drank antibiotics, treated externally with talkers, and so on. The situation improved, the result was, but a relapse occurred after 3-6 months. In this case, there are minor rashes (pustules) on the chest, shoulders, back. This situation remains to this day. At the age of 19, she was admitted to the hospital with acute pyelonephritis (she had a cold in her kidneys), then she was diagnosed with chronic pyelonephritis. Periodically after that, subfebrile temperature (37.1-37.4) was observed, ultrasound of the kidneys was done, sand was found, again antibiotics. The temperature disappeared, the general state of health improved. About 2-3 years ago, the throat began to bother (going to the doctors and prescribed rinses and homeopathy did not help for a long time) and to this day, chronic tonsillitis is diagnosed. I feel slightly enlarged and sometimes slightly painful submandibular lymph nodes. The tonsils are inflamed, from the gaps I periodically clean out something white, small with an unpleasant odor (I assume that pieces of food), there is an unpleasant smell from the mouth. A month ago, she turned to the ENT, on 10/28/14 she passed a clinical blood test and a general urine test. All indicators are normal, except for eosinophils in the blood (8 at a rate of up to 4) and a small amount of oxalates in the urine. The throat was examined, bicillin-5 injection (dose 1.5 mn units), gargle with soda + salt + dioxidine ampoule (14 days), cinnabsin (1 month) were prescribed. Bitsillin never pricked, after the start of the rest of the treatment, the sore throat intensified and was localized in a small purulent focus. The doctor said that it was stomatitis (mucosal reaction to treatment). I began to gargle with a solution of furacilin, the throat went away, but the previous symptoms remained. After completing this treatment, she turned to another doctor on 11/14/14. He ordered an analysis of the pharynx and nose for microflora. Results: 1. pharynx: S. aureus (significant growth, penicillin resistant), K. oxytoca (single growth), P. aeruginosa (moderate growth). 2. nose: S. epidermidis (common growth), S. aureus (significant growth).
All bacteria are sensitive to a number of antibiotics, but a common antibiotic to which all bacteria are sensitive is ciprofloxacin. The doctor, having seen these results, on 11/26/14 prescribed the following treatment: ciprofloxacin 500 mg 2 tablets per day (5 days), imudon 3 tablets per day (10 days), tonsilotren 3 tablets per day (14 days), linex 6 tablets per day ( 5 days).
Answer please,
1) whether such treatment is expedient in my case and whether it will bring results?
2) is it possible to get rid of such an infection, which, as I suspect, has been wandering through the body for years and is the cause of chronic tonsillitis, pyelonephritis, acne and susceptibility to other infections. diseases?
3) what are the effective methods of increasing immunity so that the body is more resistant to viruses and bacteria? special foods, vitamins, pills?
4) Can I get pregnant now, having such an arsenal of detected bacteria (especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus) or should I drink antibiotics first?
5) could these bacteria provoke a miscarriage (incomplete self-abortion) for a period of 3-4 weeks, which happened in September 2013? The cause was never found, all tests for hormones and autoimmune diseases were normal.
6) how effective is staphylococcal bacteriophage in my case and how to use it (during antibiotic treatment, after or when?)? Irrigate them gaps, all throat, tonsils?
Thank you in advance, I will be very grateful for the answer, as I have been suffering with this problem for many years, and doctors prescribe only such treatment! I really want to get rid of the problem once and for all!

Responsible Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:

Hello Alexandra! Most of the questions are not addressed to the gynecologist, so I will try to answer from my own perspective. Considering that you are worried about rashes, I would advise you to donate blood for sex hormones (especially the level of free and total testosterone, DHEA, cortisol, and AMH). If an infection is detected, of course, it must be sanitized, but if you regularly take antibiotics, then it is more rational to contact an immunologist who will prescribe systemic therapy. Bacteria most likely could not cause a miscarriage at such an early stage, here one can rather suspect a genetic breakdown. If the situation repeats itself and the fading happens at such an early date, then it is rational for you and your husband to take karyotypes.

Julia asks:

Hello. I would like to consult on the following issue. I am seeing an immunologist, I was diagnosed with immunodeficiency, mixed herpervirus infection. In July 2013, sand went from the kidney, after inflammation began, they were treated with antibiotics, then, in September, adnexitis and cystitis began, they treated it for a long time without antibiotics, rashes began on the back, the dermatologist said that it was shingles, and handed it to the gynecologist to he put me in the hospital, and they did it, they treated me with antibiotics. Shingles also treated, he quickly passed. In October I was discharged. And in December, I got sick with something similar to the flu, while there was also stomatitis, very serious, it was treated for 2 weeks, I had a temperature, my throat hurt, my nose was stuffed up and my whole mouth was in wounds. The acute stage passed, but the temperature continued to stay in area 37 -37.3 degrees. The submandibular lymph node became inflamed and hurt, the temporomandibular and mandibular joints began to hurt, it gave off to the ears, because of this, my head hurt a lot, my neck began to hurt (there is osteochondrosis). Walking to the doctors led to an immunologist, she passed the tests, and a diagnosis was made. According to the immunogram of the deviation in CD4, they are slightly lowered, and something else (I don’t have it on my hands). Biochemistry is normal, alpha amylase indices are slightly increased (pancreatic disease was suspected), but coprogram is normal. Blood tests for viruses:
VEB-NA, LgG - 871 (+++), with a normal range of less than 90 - negative, more than 110 - positive.
VEB-VCA, LgG - 496 (++), the range is the same.
HHV -6, LgG - 64 (-) the same range.
HSV-1, LgG - 97 (+++), range 9 - negative, 11 - positive.
CMV, LgG - 7.9 (+++), range 0.8 - negative, 1 - positive.
Toxoplasma, LgG -0.6 (-), range 20-negative, 30-positive.
PCR analysis (throat) (buccal scraping, count determination):
CMV - not detected.
EBV - less than 500 copies / ml, range 500-10,000,000 copies / ml. analytical sensitivity 4*10*2 copies/ml.
HHV6 - 9*10*2 copies/ml. the range is the same.
Treatment prescribed:
Valavir 1t. 2 times a day for 5 days, then 1t. 1r. per day for 10 days, then 1 ton every other day 10 tablets. Injections of cycloferon (10 injections), Immunoglobulin per person. against, VEB (3 injections of 3 ampoules), against CMV (2 injections) and Herpes 6 (2 injections of 2 ampoules) according to the scheme. Also Ginsomine 1 ton per day. Tsetrin 1 t. per day. For throat throat spas -10 days, respibron - 10 days, erebra -10 days and so on for 3 months. After the last injection of cycloferon, my throat started to hurt, my nose was blocked (a girl coughed on me in the minibus), the next day the temperature was 38.5. The intestines, neck and head also began to hurt. I went to a gastroenterologist - everything is normal, then to an immunologist, she suggested that it was the flu, and for the neck she referred me to a neuropathologist, he advised massage and manual therapy, since she was already drinking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. At the same time, I checked the gynecology - everything is fine. Re-tested:
VEB-NA, LgG - 879 (+++), with a normal range of less than 90 - negative, more than 110 - positive.
VEB-VCA, LgG - 1338 (+++), the range is the same.
HHV -6, LgG - 62 (-) the same range.
HSV-1, LgG - 45.1 (+++), range 9 - negative, 11 - positive.
CMV, LgG - 4.91 (+++), range 0.8 - negative, 1 - positive.
Repeated biochemistry shows the norm everywhere except for alpha amylase (there is a slight excess), and creatinine (I have chronic pyelonephritis and cystitis).
That is, a slight improvement everywhere, except for EBV, it was activated, either during treatment or a little later. Since I felt lousy, I was also prescribed human immunoglobulin against herpes type 1, 5 injections of 3 ampoules, and for the back and joints, goal T, and discus compositum in injections. The spine felt better, but the throat completely ached and a rash began. The rash on the face and behind the ears also went, a little bit on the shoulders, it looks like an allergy (I have been allergic since childhood), they prescribed trimestine ointment, everything went away behind the ears, but a small rash remained on the face, as the immunologist said, it does not look like an infectious disease, more as if either the sweat glands or the pores were inflamed, I don’t remember, but I stopped drinking birth control for just a month, maybe because of this. I went to Laura, they just sown the flora in my nose Staphylococcus aureus 10 * 6, in the ears epidermal 10 * 6, in the mouth of Candida 10 * 5. Since the titers are not large, she carried out sanitation with chlorophyllipt and elekasol, and 5 procedures of quartzization, and drank groprinosin for 8 days at 5 tons per day, based on body weight. She smeared her throat with lugol, rinsed it with a solution of soda and sea salt. I also drink Mycox against candida. I also drink herbal teas. Basically, they don't know what to do with me. Since the throat continues to be red (or rather the arches of the throat), wounds in the mouth also periodically appear, I constantly smear everything with ointments. I noticed that after groprinosin it becomes easier, the temperature went away, and cystitis manifests itself less often, I also took drugs for a month (Cyston, Canephron, Cital), but the urinary and kidneys made themselves felt, the neck and jaw joints hurt and crunch, although according to inflammation tests no (biochemistry - total protein and fractions are normal). Alkaline phosphatase is normal, birulin is direct and indirect too. Potassium, sodium, chlorides, calcium - everything is normal, only potassium is at the upper limit. Can you advise something? Thanks in advance.

Staphylococcus aureus microbes settle on the skin and mucous membranes of a person and weaken his body. You can observe staphylococcus in the mouth, where it quickly gets used to new conditions. These microorganisms can settle in the nasopharynx, eyes, skin and gastrointestinal tract. This is the most common and dangerous infection today. If the body is healthy, then bacteria do not cause him any harm, and with a weakened immune system, they become the cause of all kinds of diseases.

The main symptoms of infection in the oral cavity are swelling and sores on the mucous membrane and tongue. Patients feel constant pain, they are worried about severe dryness in the mouth. The symptoms are very similar to the common cold, the patient may suffer from a runny nose, cough and pain in the nasopharynx. Carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is also observed in inflamed tonsils, teeth affected by caries. Symptoms of this infectious disease also include swollen lymph nodes, tonsils, fever, and muscle spasms.

This disease can affect adults and children. Staphylococcus aureus can enter the oral cavity through the hands or with food. The reason is primarily in non-compliance with the rules of personal hygiene, this applies to both adults and children. It is necessary to teach the child to wash his hands before eating and not to put anything in his mouth.

A weakened immune system is also considered an important reason. This disease can be contracted from another person, carriers of the infection can be found among medical personnel or catering workers. Insects are also carriers of the infection, so the place of their bite must be treated with a soda solution or brilliant green.

Often the cause of a staphylococcal infection in the oral cavity is diseased teeth. Caries, an inflamed nerve or gum, tartar, poor-quality fillings that seal the tooth poorly, all these problems can eventually lead to staph in the mouth. The disease can be transmitted by eating contaminated foods or through breast milk from mother to child.

As soon as the first signs of infection are detected, you should immediately seek medical help. If left untreated, the infection will gradually move into the intestines, causing dysbacteriosis or go to the nasopharynx and cause pharyngitis, tracheitis or bronchitis.

To determine the type of infection, the patient needs to take a scraping in the mouth and nose with a special tool for analysis. The treatment is carried out with antibiotics, but staphylococci often do not respond to them, so doctors try to do without these drugs.

This is especially true for the treatment of children. First of all, for a speedy recovery, it is necessary to create the most sterile environment around the child. An increase in immunity is also mandatory, for this the doctor prescribes various immunostimulating drugs.

For the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus, antibiotics of a new generation are used, semi-synthetic penicillins - oxacillin, cephalosporins of the 1st generation, for example, cefazolin, glycopeptides - vancomycin, work well. If there are purulent rashes in the oral cavity, then they are opened, drained, and then washed with antibiotics. In severe cases, a blood transfusion may be prescribed. A specific drug should be prescribed only by a doctor, self-medication is dangerous to health.

To enhance the effect of antibiotics, the oral cavity must be rinsed with a solution prepared from 100 g of warm water and 1 tbsp. 2% alcohol solution of chlorophyllipt. Such a solution will reduce the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics and help increase the oxygen content in the tissues. This rinse is used 4 times a day. For small children who do not know how to rinse their mouth, wipe the mouth with a cotton swab dipped in a solution.

To speed up recovery, you can use traditional medicine recipes. First of all, it is necessary to increase immunity by supplying the body with the necessary microorganisms and vitamins. There are a lot of them in cranberries, rose hips, currants and raspberries, so you should definitely drink fresh juices from these berries.

It is useful to rinse the mouth with all kinds of decoctions of medicinal herbs. Chamomile, St. John's wort and calendula are very good for this. To prepare a medicinal decoction, you need to take 1 tbsp. any of the listed herbs and pour a glass of boiling water. The broth is insisted on a water bath for about 10 minutes, filtered and rinsed with their mouth several times a day.

During treatment and after it, it is necessary to eat fully, the diet must include proteins, carbohydrates and vitamins. Food should be consumed in small quantities, but often. The patient must be provided with sufficient drink, it can be compotes, kissels, juices, tea and fermented milk products.

The body does not develop immunity to a staphylococcal infection, so after recovery, a person can get sick with this disease again.

To prevent this, you must carefully observe the rules of personal hygiene, eat well and take vitamins.

Two types of staphylococci can be found in the human throat - golden and epidermal. Among them, it is considered the most pathogenic, which can cause various inflammatory diseases of the nasopharynx and is very difficult to treat. In turn, epidermal staphylococcus does not pose a danger to healthy people, its presence on the skin and mucous membrane of the human body is a variant of the norm. Only in the case of penetration of this type of pathogen into the internal environment of the body and with a significant weakening of the immune system, the development of serious ailments is possible.

What is the carriage of staphylococcus in the throat

They surround a person everywhere (at home, on the street, in a hospital, in catering, in kindergarten and school), so everyone can become infected with this bacterium. According to statistics, in 15-20% of people, Staphylococcus aureus lives in the throat constantly, in 60-70% - occasionally. And only a small part of the population has such a strong immune defense that the microorganism cannot take root in their nasopharynx.

If Staphylococcus aureus is found in a small amount in the throat of a person who does not have an inflammatory process in the mouth, throat or nose, they speak of carriage. This condition is not pathological and, in principle, does not require any treatment. However, there are several groups of people for whom such a “neighborhood” is very undesirable:

• Employees of medical institutions, kindergartens and schools . When sowing staphylococcus in them, sanitation of the nasopharynx is mandatory.
• Women who are planning a pregnancy and are already carrying a baby under their hearts . In them, the elimination of staphylococcus from the throat is indicated for several reasons: during pregnancy, immunity decreases, so activation of the pathogen is possible; A newborn baby can get a dangerous infection from his mother.

Factors contributing to the occurrence of staphylococcal diseases

when it enters the throat of a healthy person, it is immediately attacked by local defense factors - immunoglobulins contained in mucus, normal microflora of the nasopharynx, and lymphoid cells. If the defense mechanisms work well, the pathogen leaves the mucous membrane very soon. If he cannot completely oust the "intruder", but resists its pathogenic properties, carriage occurs. If local immunity is significantly weakened, Staphylococcus aureus invades tissues, causing an inflammatory process in them.

Factors contributing to the activation of a staphylococcal infection in the throat include:

• . With a decrease in body temperature, a spasm of the vessels of the nasopharyngeal mucosa occurs, resulting in a decrease in blood flow to the tissues, and a decrease in the concentration of protective substances in the mucus. That is, hypothermia leads to inhibition of local immunity of the throat and nose.
• Drying of the mucous membrane respiratory tract. Protective substances and immunoglobulins show their activity only if there is mucus.
• , that affect the body's defenses.
• Severe chronic diseases accompanied by depletion of the immune system.
• and concomitant inhibition of normoflora.

note

These same factors contribute to the long stay of staphylococcus in the nasopharynx of carriers. Therefore, if a person does not change his lifestyle and does not begin to monitor his health, he is unlikely to be able to get rid of staphylococcus aureus. Even if the drugs help, the effect will be temporary.

Symptoms of staphylococcus in the throat

Activation of staphylococcus in the throat leads to the development of a number of diseases:

• (inflammation of the palatine tonsils - among the people of the tonsils).
• (inflammation of the throat).
• (inflammation of the pharyngeal lymphoid formation - pharyngeal tonsil).

Symptoms of these ailments can be:

If these signs are present, especially if they disappear, then they appear, it is necessary to take smears from the throat and nose for bacteriological examination, during which staphylococcus aureus can be detected and its sensitivity to antibacterial drugs can be determined. There are no other methods for reliable diagnosis of staphylococcal infection in the throat.

How to treat staph in the throat

Treatment of staphylococcus in the throat is carried out only if there are pronounced manifestations of a staphylococcal infection, that is, if the pathogen provoked an inflammatory process. Patients are usually prescribed complex therapy, including the following groups of drugs:

• . They are chosen taking into account the sensitivity of the bacteria.
• Staphylococcal bacteriophage A virus that kills Staphylococcus aureus. Apply this drug topically.
• Local antiseptics for gargling and sanitation of the nose. Not all antiseptics act on staphylococci, doctors give preference to an alcohol solution of Chlorophyllipt and Bactroban ointment for the nose. Chlorophyllipt is an extract of eucalyptus leaves and is a rather allergenic medicine, so it is not recommended for use in young children, while adults should first take a small amount of the sample.
• . With a staphylococcal infection, it is very important to increase immunity so that the body can quickly get rid of the pathogen. In diseases of the throat of a staphylococcal nature, IRS-19, Bronchomunal, Imudon and other similar drugs are used as immunomodulators. All of them contain particles of bacteria, including staphylococci, which stimulate the production of protective antibodies and increase their concentration in the mucus of the respiratory tract.

Many patients are frightened by such a large number of drugs, but the only way to overcome a staphylococcal infection is in this way, since each of the drugs potentiates the action of the other and thereby increases the overall effectiveness of the treatment.

Antibiotics for staphylococcus in the throat

A few antibiotics can affect staphylococcus aureus, which creates serious problems for doctors. Hardest to deal with hospital staphylococcal infection . It is infected in medical institutions, where staphylococci have almost 100% resistance to antibacterial and antiseptic drugs. Therefore, doctors always try to start treating a staph infection only after receiving the results of a bacteriological study.

Most often, with staphylococcal infections, semi-synthetic penicillins (some of them are called anti-staphylococcal) and cephalosporins of 2-3 generations are used. However, in recent years, staphylococci have begun to appear, which produce substances that can destroy these antibiotics. In this case, it is necessary to treat a staphylococcal infection with the “last weapon”, for example, Vancomycin. It is clear that with usually sore throat, the use of reserve drugs is inappropriate, they are used only in extreme cases, when it comes to saving the patient's life.

Sanitation of the throat with the carriage of staphylococcus aureus

The carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is not a disease that needs to be treated. Sanitation (cleansing and healing) of the nasopharynx is indicated only for employees of hospitals, schools, kindergartens and other similar institutions, as well as for couples planning the birth of a child. Such sanitation of the throat is carried out with the following drugs and methods:

• An oily solution of vitamin A (it is instilled into the nose or treated with a throat).
• Ointment Bactroban (for the nose).
• Staphylococcal bacteriophage.
• Chlorophyllipt.
• Furacilin solution.
• Exposure to the microclimate of a salt mine.

It is necessary to clean the throat under the supervision of a doctor, following all his recommendations. It is allowed to use several methods of sanitation at once. As a rule, after completing the full course of such therapy, staphylococcus aureus is not sown in the throat, but there is no guarantee that it will not appear there again. To minimize this likelihood, you need to take care of your health and strengthen your immune system. In addition, staphylococcal toxoid and a special vaccine can be used to form specific antibodies and increase the body's resistance. Such an appointment, again, should be made by a specialist.

Doctors usually recommend to all other categories of the population to increase general and local immunity without drugs, that is, eat right, have a good rest, “take care” of nerves, do not overcool, make sure that the mucous membranes of the nose and throat do not dry out. It is better to spend money not on pills of incomprehensible action, but on seasonal fruits, vegetables and rest.

Conclusion:

No need to try to get rid of staphylococcus in the throat at any cost, you just need to help the body strengthen the "borders" and create conditions in which the enemy simply cannot survive.

Folk remedies for staphylococcus in the throat

Alternative methods of treatment for staphylococcal lesions of the throat smooth out the inflammatory process, reduce the intensity of pain, slightly stimulate the immune system, but the pathogen itself (Staphylococcus aureus) is not affected in any way. Therefore, it is impossible to replace the medicines prescribed by the doctor with folk remedies.

Staphylococcus aureus is a very common and very dangerous opportunistic bacterium that can affect anyone, regardless of gender and age. These microorganisms are widely distributed in rooms where there are many people.

The source of infection is an infected adult or child. Pathogenic microorganisms are activated in those who have a sharp decrease in immunity or a deterioration in their general condition.

One of the most difficult types of staphylococcus aureus is considered. It is he who causes various diseases of the throat. And with its overly active reproduction, a person can even get purulent tonsillitis.

Despite the fact that the microorganism itself has been sufficiently studied, the staphylococcal infection caused by it remains one of the most serious diseases in terms of treatment. This interesting fact is due to the high variability of staphylococcus and its ability to quickly develop resistance to various antibiotics (especially if the patient does not comply with the dose, the frequency of taking the medicine and the duration of the course).

Staphylococcus aureus: what is it?

Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that looks like a ball. The disease is very common. According to the data, 20% of the world's population are already direct carriers of staphylococcus aureus.

It is found everywhere: on the skin, in the nose, in the intestines, throat and even on the genitals. This prevalence also affects the number of diseases that the bacterium can accompany and cause.

Among the main causes contributing to the development of staphylococcal infection, there are:

1. The presence of chronic diseases;
2. Decreased immunity due to stress, beriberi, taking antibiotics, malnutrition and taking immunosuppressing drugs;
3. Interaction with a potential carrier of an infection (for example, which is transmitted by airborne droplets);
4. Failure to comply with sanitary standards for cuts, abrasions, open wounds on the body. Infection of a wound with staphylococcus aureus can lead to its suppuration and lead, ultimately, to blood poisoning;
5. Eating unwashed fruits, vegetables, and other contaminated foods.

Often, Staphylococcus aureus infection also affects children. The risk factors in this case are:

1. Pathological pregnancy;
2. Long anhydrous period in childbirth;
3. Preeclampsia during pregnancy;
4. Hypotrophy of the newborn;
5. The birth of a premature baby;
6. Non-compliance with the personal hygiene of the child.

The biggest problem with staph is that it has amazing viability. Neither cold, nor direct sunlight, nor lack of moisture can affect this microorganism. Even a practically dried staphylococcus bacterium retains its properties.

How is Staphylococcus aureus transmitted?

In most cases, infection occurs in medical institutions. Staphylococcus aureus is transmitted both by airborne droplets and through food (infected meat, eggs, dairy products, pastries, cream cakes) or household items.

The infection also enters the child's body through microtrauma of the skin or mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. Premature infants and immunocompromised infants are at highest risk of infection. During childbirth, through wounds or scratches, as well as through breast milk, a mother can infect a child. If the bacteria entered the mother's body through cracks in the nipples, then this can lead to purulent mastitis in her.

Staphylococcus aureus in children and newborns

One of the toxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus, exfoliatin, tends to severely affect newborns. The secreted poison penetrates into the pores of the skin and provokes the appearance of blisters, outwardly resembling burns and because of this they are called the "scalded baby" syndrome.

This disease rarely affects newborns, since they are protected by the immunity received from mother's milk for 6 months, in parallel, from the contact of the baby with bacteria, additional immunity is developed, which continues to protect him. To prevent diseases in a child, it is necessary to carefully monitor his hygiene and nutrition.

Why is this bacterium dangerous?

When the body's defenses are weakened, the infection wakes up and causes various diseases, up to blood poisoning or sepsis. The high pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus is associated with three factors.

1. Firstly, the microorganism is highly resistant to antiseptics and environmental factors (withstands boiling for 10 minutes, drying, freezing, ethyl alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, with the exception of "brilliant green").
2. Secondly, Staphylococcus aureus produces the enzymes penicillinase and lidase, which makes it protected from almost all antibiotics of the penicillin series and helps to melt the skin, including sweat glands, and penetrate deep into the body.
3. And thirdly, the microbe produces endotoxin, which leads to both food poisoning and the syndrome of general intoxication of the body, up to the development of infectious-toxic shock.

And, of course, it should be noted that there is no immunity to the disease, so an adult or child who managed to cure Staphylococcus aureus can become infected again.

Symptoms of Staphylococcus aureus

In children and adults, staphylococci cause various lesions - abscesses, sycoses, hydradenitis, carbuncles, periostitis, felons, osteomyelitis, blepharitis, folliculitis, boils, pyoderma, meningitis, peritonitis, cholecystitis, appendicitis.

Consider the most common diseases that Staphylococcus aureus can cause.

1. Gastrointestinal tract. Within a few hours after eating food that has been seeded with staphylococci, the development of food toxicosis begins. Repeated vomiting begins, nausea and dry mouth appear. Worried about diarrhea and abdominal pain.
2. Skin diseases. Depending on the area affected by staphylococcus, skin diseases are divided into phlegmon or abscesses, boils or carbuncles. A furuncle is characterized by a slight redness, thickening and soreness of the skin, a carbuncle is a more serious disease in which several hair follicles are involved at once. May be accompanied by fever, weakness, loss of strength.
3. Pneumonia: most common in children, especially small ones, also diagnosed in debilitated people; characterized by a short period of initial fever with rapid development of respiratory failure, severe symptoms of obstruction may occur.
4. Mucous. Often the pathogen is found in the nasopharynx and throat. If an infection develops, inflammatory processes are observed in the ears, nose, throat. In severe forms occur,. Not always pustular secret comes to the surface. Unfortunately, this makes diagnosis difficult.
5. Bacterial endocarditis is one of the complications of staphylococcal bacteremia. Most often it develops in people with a weakened immune system, as well as in drug addicts.
6. Ritter's disease or "scalded skin" syndrome is another manifestation of staphylococcal infection, occurring mainly in newborns and young children. The manifestations of the disease can be (a similar rash) or (a focus of red inflamed skin with even borders) that occurs with streptococcal infections.
7. Toxic shock is the most severe disease caused by Staphylococcus aureus. It starts suddenly and proceeds with fever, dizziness and headache, low blood pressure, palpitations and vomiting. A rash appears in the form of spots all over the body or in some places. A week later, peeling of the skin is observed.

As you can see, depending on the area affected by Staphylococcus aureus, the symptoms in children and adults are fundamentally different. They are directly related to the site of introduction of the bacterium into the body, the state of the patient's immune system and the aggressiveness of the pathogen. The appropriate treatment for Staphylococcus aureus will depend on the specific location of the infection.

How to prevent infection

Take certain preventive measures to avoid infection.

1. Observe hygiene rules, wash your hands well;
2. Do not touch, do not comb wounds, rashes on the skin;
3. Do not use other people's hygiene items: razors, combs, towels, etc.;
4. Follow all the rules of heat treatment and storage of food.

It should be noted that severe forms of staphylococcal infection are rare and, as a rule, in children with poor health, congenital diseases, and malformations.

Treatment of Staphylococcus aureus in adults

Staphylococcus is an unusually tenacious bacterium. As they say, it does not sink in water, it does not burn in fire. Highly resistant to environmental factors. It does not always die with various methods of disinfection: boiling, quartzing, the use of antiseptics, disinfection, autoclaving. This is the complexity of the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus. It is difficult to find antibacterial drugs that would affect staphylococcus aureus. Immunity to this bacterium is not produced, diseases can recur.

It is possible to cure Staphylococcus aureus, but due to the fact that this microorganism can develop resistance to antibiotics, the treatment process is sometimes complicated. The course of prescribed antibiotics must be completed completely, because if the patient does not complete the course, then not all Staphylococcus aureus (in the intestine or in another organ) will die, and subsequently he will acquire resistance to this drug.

If antibiotic therapy is ineffective or impossible, patients are prescribed a staphylococcal bacteriophage, which, in fact, is a bacterial virus. Its advantages lie in the fact that it acts only on certain pathogenic microorganisms, without damaging the normal microflora, and has no contraindications and side effects.

The most terrible enemies of staphylococcus are a solution of brilliant green (common brilliant green) and chlorophyllipt in the form of an oil or alcohol solution. Zelenka is used to treat wounds on the skin. Chlorophyllipt is prescribed by a doctor for the rehabilitation of the nasopharynx and throat.

Staphylococcus aureus in the intestine: symptoms and treatment

In most cases, the incubation period after infection with the type of bacterium in question is no more than a day, so the first signs may appear after 5-6 hours.

Staphylococcus aureus in the intestine has the following symptoms:

• indigestion, expressed by loose stools, while the urge to the toilet is very frequent (up to 10 times a day), and the consistency of the outgoing masses is watery with impurities of mucus or even blood;
• cutting intense pain in the epigastric region and lower abdomen;
• nausea, severe vomiting;
• noticeable diaper rash;
• increase in body temperature to low values;
• weakness of the body, fatigue.

The "fight" against staphylococcal infection is aimed at:

• suppression of pathogen activity;
• improvement of immunity;
• stimulation of metabolic processes;
• treatment of chronic diseases that weaken the body.

The choice of treatment method is made on the basis of the results of stool analysis.

Staphylococcus aureus in the nose: symptoms and treatment

The favorite habitat of Staphylococcus aureus is the nasal cavity. Moreover, it can be found in perfectly healthy people. Many for a long time are simply carriers of a pathogenic bacterium.

• sudden rise in body temperature;
• Strong headache;
• weakness, loss of appetite;
• enlargement of the tonsils, resulting in discomfort when swallowing food, hyperemia of the mucosa and the appearance of
• purulent plaque;
• enlargement of regional lymph nodes.

A distinctive feature of these diseases in the presence of Staphylococcus aureus in the throat is purulent discharge. As a treatment for staphylococcus in the throat, antibiotics are usually prescribed by a specialist in order to cope with the infection as soon as possible and prevent the likelihood of a relapse, at least in the near future.

Before treating staphylococcus in the throat, it is necessary to take into account the presence of individual intolerance to the components of the drug, therefore, a special treatment complex should be selected for each patient. The dosage is also set by the attending physician depending on and it depends on the age and weight category.
