GIANTmicrobes adorable plush Staph is a popular teaching tool in hospitals. Better hygiene reduces nosocomial transmissions and a good reminder to treat cuts with antibiotic ointment quickly.
A bacterium walked into a cafe and was told We don’t serve bacteria in this place. The bacterium said, But I work here, I’m Staph. When staph drops by, visiting hours are over.
Description
FACTS:
There are over 30 different kinds of staph bacteria, but staphylococcus aureus is the most common. (Staph, or staphyle, means “bunch of grapes” in Greek, which is more or less what staph looks likes under the microscope.)
It can often be found living harmlessly on human skin. But occasionally, staph will wander into a hair follicle or slip into a crack in your skin causing a slew of common infections ranging from boils, to sties, to rashes. Red sores and pus are typical of affected areas.
Because these types of infections are normally localized and minor, washing with antibacterial ointment is usually sufficient treatment. And in many cases, staph infections clear up on their own.
Materials:
Plush from all new materials. Stuffed with polyester fiber fill. Surface washable: sponge with water & soap, air dry.
Packaging:
Each plush microbe includes a printed card with fun, educational and fascinating facts about the actual microbe or cell.
Safety:
Every product meets or exceeds U.S. and European standards for safety. For ages 3 and up.
Dimensions: 15 x 10 cm
Age recommendation: 3+
Product Number: PD-0720
