staph is a bacteria that can live harmlessly on many skin surfaces. But the bacteria can get into wounds and cause an infection.

LOLL.
Firstly you have to know what a Meme is. In case you don't know, here's a definition.
Internet meme: The term Internet meme (rhyming with "cream") is used to describe a concept that spreads swiftly via the Internet. The term is a reference to the concept of memes, although this concept refers to a much broader category of cultural information.
Basically from my experience it's a trend of photos, themes, or captions, usually funny.
For example there are the "Stare Dad Memes"
Which look like this: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=stare%20dad&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&biw=1366&bih=667&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=rD1dUNeRNJDEswaYpYHIDQ
The same comic with lots of different captions and words to make it funny.
A Staph meme isn't the same photo or comic, it is following a similar photo caption, using "Staph" as a funny way of saying "Stop"
Look at them, they're pretty funny. (I tried to add some links for you buy yahooanswers wouldn't let me upload my answer)
Hope this was helpful!!!
