1.1 Introduction
S. aureus is a potentially harmful human pathogen associated with both nosocomial and community-acquired infections, and it is increasingly becoming resistant to most antibiotics. Previous studies of S. aureus in marine environments have linked swimmers to the dissemination of S. aureus in marine water, via the shedding of the bacterium from their nose, skin, and respiratory tract. Staphylococcus Aureus are a large and diverse group of bacteria. Although most strains of Staphylococcus Aureus are harmless, others can make you sick. Some kinds of Staphylococcus Aureus can cause diarrhea, while others cause urinary tract infections, respiratory illness and pneumonia, and other illnesses. Bacteria are common single-celled organisms and are a natural component of lakes, rivers, and streams. Most of these bacteria are harmless to humans; however, certain bacteria, some of which normally inhabit the intestinal tract of warm-blooded animals, have the potential to cause sickness and disease in humans. High numbers of these harmless bacteria often indicate high numbers of harmful bacteria as well as other disease-causing organisms such as viruses and protozoans (Usgs, 2021).
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitation of the study and Definition of technical terms.
