a question about staphylococcus aureus

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I was wondering what causes the bacteria staph to grow in the lungs?

has staph and his dr is not worried about it, Hes always had it. Now

I was researching and I came across sites that state this bacteria if from

food like meats and reheated foods, ok so is there two different kinds of

staph? I also am wondering how do we know that having this bacteria in his

lungs is not destroying them slowly? I don't want to wait years and years and

come to find out that it damaged his lungs. His doctor said it was better to

be colonized with staph because it keeps out the more dangerous bacteria,

such as pseudomonous and b cepacia. What do you all think? We have clinic on

the 12th and I want to bring up this issue again. Im not an expert on the

lungs but I would think if bacteria was sitting there festering then it would

be a problem, right? Another response to why leave it is because he doesn't

have symptoms with the staph? Ok so what kind of syptoms would we look for in

that case? Thanks to all who respond and give support to my family, I greatly

appreciate it. Thanks as always mommy to 4 yrs 10 months old

w/cf and 20 months old no/cf.
