Staphylococcus bacteria - a false lead or a eureka moment?

[LabRat]

My son, as is the way of boys, managed to get some kind of skin infection, which meant a trip to the doctor this morning. In spite of the fact that he looked like he'd been bitten by a zombie, the doctor decided that it was nothing to worry about and prescribed him a course of antibiotics. Has anyone else been prescribed flucloxacillin?

As a good parent, I read the enclosed leaflet, mostly to find out what to do when my boy manages to forget to take a capsule but I was absolutely astounded at what I read:

What Is It For?
Flucloxacillin Sodium is an antibiotic. The capsules are used to treat a wide range of infections caused by staphylococcal bacteria/

This could include a number of skin and soft tissue infections such as boils, abscesses, carbuncles (cluster of boils), cellulities (infections of the skin and the tissue beneath it), infected wounds, burns and skin conditions such as ulcers, eczema and acne, protection for skin grafts and inflammation of the middle or external ear.

With all those related skin conditions, that are all too reminiscent of zombie symptoms, I looked up staphylococcus bacteria on wikipedia and was immediately excited at the entry. It causes skin conditions such as those observed in zombies and can be transmitted through contact with pus from an infected wound. It is spread through human-to-human contact, although it can be spread from animal-to-human. Two main strains are known to exist (pigmented and non-pigmented), which echoes the two main strains of zombie infection, as described recently in The Sentinel's article about the differences between Solanum and rage-type zombies.

Perhaps I am so hungry to find an answer to all these years of mostly fruitless research that now I am seeing unicorns where no unicorns exist. Yet it gives me hope - another avenue to investigate amidst all these dead ends and mires. Has some strain of staphylococcal evolved into zombie infection? Or even if it has not, has something similar happened? I can only cross my fingers and keep hoping. I suspect that we are fast running out of time.
