question 58

Multiple Choice

Why is it not surprising that Staphylococci are the leading cause of wound infections?

• A) This genus is readily present as a part of the normal microbiota on most people's skin, so it could easily enter wounds.
• B) Members of this genus are all particularly virulent and highly capable of causing numerous infections.
• C) Staphylococci cannot be eradicated from the skin due to multidrug resistance in most members of the genus. Drugs simply don't kill them.
• D) Staphylococci acquire antibiotic resistance very readily, making them hard to eliminate by pre-surgical antibacterial soaps. As such, they commonly infect surgical wound sites.
• E) Staphylococci form endospores, so even with appropriate control measures, there is a high risk that spores will enter a wound and cause infection.
