Serious infections caused by S aureus, particularly those associated with bloodstream infection, are rapidly increasing in frequency, likely as a result of the proliferation of invasive procedures, the increasing severity of illness of hospitalized patients, suboptimal adherence to infection control practices, selection of resistant strains by antibiotic use, high rates of injecting drug use, and diabetes mellitus. In many cases, being aware of the clinical manifestations and treatment of S aureus can help to decrease the incidence of these infections and promote better care for patients who have been--or could be--exposed to the pathogen.
金黄色葡萄球菌引起的严重感染，尤其是那些与血流感染相关的感染，其发生率正在迅速上升，这可能是由于侵入性操作的增加、住院患者病情的日益严重、对感染控制措施的依从性欠佳、抗生素使用导致耐药菌株的产生、注射吸毒率高以及糖尿病等原因所致。在许多情况下，了解金黄色葡萄球菌的临床表现和治疗方法有助于降低这些感染的发生率，并为已经或可能接触该病原体的患者提供更好的护理。
