Staphylococcus aureus, or staph, is a bacteria that is commonly found in the nose and on the skin of humans. While it is typically not harmful to humans, it is sometimes able to enter the body through an injury or broken skin, and get into the bloodstream. When this happens, it can cause a serious infection called sepsis. Sepsis can cause an individual to go into shock and bodily organs to stop functioning. Symptoms of sepsis include inflammation, fever or hypothermia, increased heart rate, and rapid breathing.
