Household bacteria cross-contamination, conceptual image. Computer illustration of a domestic kitchen, showing how far Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (yellow) can be spread around the room if basic techniques to avoid cross-contamination, such as washing hands after handling raw meat, are not followed. Staphylococcus aureus is the bacterium responsible for food poisoning, localised skin diseases, respiratory diseases and in some extreme cases, septicaemia.
