    Explanation
    Staphylococcus aureus infections can create abscesses and/or produce exotoxins. Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacteria that commonly colonizes the skin and mucous membranes. When it enters the body through a wound or other means, it can cause infections. These infections can lead to the formation of abscesses, which are localized collections of pus. Additionally, Staphylococcus aureus is known to produce exotoxins, which are toxic substances released by the bacteria. These exotoxins can cause various symptoms and contribute to the severity of the infection.
