Make sure your children are always keeping their hands clean and away from their faces.

A recent survey conducted by Chang Gung Children's Hospital has discovered that about 7 percent of infants have a type of bacteria in their noses, which are drug resistant. If it enters the body through an open wound, it can potentially cause pneumonia and other diseases. Here on CTS, we explain how to reduce the chance of getting infected.

These children are happy playing though if they are not careful, they could risk coming down with the drug resistant staphylococcus aureus infection which if untreated could enter the body and cause osteomyelitis or pneumonia, or even sepsis and death.

According to Chang Gung Children's Hospital, a recent study found that about 7% of infant nasal cavities contain this drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Doctors say that these infants with immature immune systems could be susceptible to infection.

The CDC says that it is not necessary to panic, as the disease usually affects those whose immune function is poor as well as surgery or trauma patients.

The CDC says that although this disease is drug resistant it can still use vancomycin to treat it as the CDC reminds parents to encourage their children to wash their hands and pick their nose less to lower the potential for infection.
