Articles relevance

Either this article should concentrate on Staphylococcal infection and use a section of the article on Staphylococcus aureus to improve it's readability or it should merge with the staphylococcus article because a lot of the information is duplicated !

I am NOT a person with medical experience, BUT is this infection not the same as described in "Staphylococcal"?

Is this article necessary? Would a divert not be more suitable? It only causes confusion in non-medical persons like me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.136.145.131 (talk) 05:38, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We need an article on the infection because the "infection" (as such) is not the "bacterium"— they are separate things. However, I just reworded the lead to this article because this article is much, much too emphatic on the bacteria itself— it still has virtually nothing on the signs or symptoms, and nothing on treatment options other than saying that some medicines don't work anymore to treat it. Considering how frequent staph infections are, and especially given their position as a treatment-resistant organism, the fact that these things are not included here already is appalling. To me. If I could somehow flag this article as needing attention for this, I would do it. I will mention Wikipedia's medicine guy, Doc James, and see if he agrees or has anything to contribute here.
