HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Staphylococcus is not a disease it is the name of bacteria that causes infections( disease ).

This bacteria is normally present in the skin and in the nose . So any breach in the skin or any inflammation in the nose this bacteria gains entry inside the body and causes Infection.
The other possibility of contracting staphylococcus infection is by eating rotten food which would have been contaminated with this bacteria.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
