Hello,

Yes,staph infection can be spread among people having close contact with infected people.It is almost always spread by direct physical contact and not through the air. Spread may also occur through indirect contact by touching objects (e.g., towels, sheets, wound dressings, clothes, workout areas, or sports equipment) contaminated by the infected skin of a person with staph bacteria.

Hope this helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted if you have any additional doubts.
