What is another word for genus staphylococcus?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɛnəs stˈafɪlˌɒkɒkəs] (IPA) 
Genus Staphylococcus refers to a group of spherical bacteria that grow in clusters. These bacteria are commonly found on human skin and can cause infections ranging from minor skin infections to life-threatening conditions such as sepsis. Other synonyms for the term Genus Staphylococcus include Staph, Staphylococcal, Staphylococcus aureus, and Coagulase-positive staphylococci. Staphylococcal infections can occur anywhere on the body and can be spread through direct contact with an infected person, contaminated surfaces, or through airborne droplets. Antibiotics are used to treat these infections, but the overuse of antibiotics has led to the development of antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphylococcus, which poses a significant challenge to healthcare professionals.
