Staphylococcal Infection

Description

Infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, ranging from minor skin infections to serious conditions like sepsis. MRSA is an antibiotic-resistant strain.

Carbohydrate Dependency: Staphylococcus aureus is carbohydrate-dependent, requiring glucose for energy and toxin production. Weakens significantly during fasting or ketogenic/carnivore diets when glucose is restricted.
