HI...staphylococcal infection can spread and in hospitals usually if it is suspected, contact isolation is advised. The risk of staphylococcal infection is definitely there. But as she has got it now, the best way would be to go about with a oral antibiotic course of Clindamycin.
Topical ointment like Mupirocin will also help.
