Is it sexually transmitted ?
Brief Answer:
Yes. Can be transmitted by intimate contact.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Staphylococci are readily exchanged by intimate, nonsexual exposure, such as by sharing beds and perhaps towels or other fomites as well as by sexual contact. Warmth and moisture enhance the susceptibility of the genitals and perigenital areas to staphylococcal colonization and symptomatic infection.
Hope my answer is helpful.
