Linezolid is a weak monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), and should not be used concomitantly with other MAOIs, large amounts of tyramine-rich foods (such as pork, aged cheeses, alcoholic beverages, or smoked and pickled foods), or serotonergic drugs.
also it is highly contagious. so avoid open physical contact with others unless u get treated .
Doctor has suggested me Linezolid antibiotic for 7 days since Enterococcus Faecilis was found in semen culture and sensitivity test. My question is - Is this infection very dangerous and does it affects fertility?
Effective, on-going drainage of the boil will be as important as the antibiotic therapy. First, you should re-confirm that the Staph causing your daughter’s infection, truly is one of the more resistant, more dangerous varieties. For a very long time, a medicine called vancomycin has been the treatment of choice for infection with Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Now, other medicines seem to be more effective, including teicoplanin and linezolid.
Hello,
It can be due to insect bites or arthropod bites or boils. On this sore, apply topical antibiotic cream like Neosporin and you may need oral antibiotics. Wear cotton clothes and use mild soaps like Dove. Take oral antihistaminic for the itching. Also if it persists then get an evaluation done from a dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
He just went to a new doctor, and this one gave him Doxycycline and Prednisone. (Antibiotic and Steroids.) Since steroids suppress immune system functions, I think that's completely backwards. They were prescribed for the MRSA. Have you ever heard of sterioids prescribed to help with MRSA treatment?
Also, could you suggest some preventative MRSA treatments for me to look into so I may suggest one to our primary? Thanks.
I am an English women living in India. I had urine test and indicated few bacteria present so got antibiotic amoxicillin and doxicillin. The symptoms cleared quickly (although not 100%). However the day after I stopped taking the antibiotic they came back.I was in a rural area at the time and couldnt get correct test so a doctor gave me ampillin and cloxicllin to tide me over. Again some but not full relief.
A patient 90 years old, suffering congestion, dry cough, urinary infection, under dosage of cough syrup was sleepy. Then was given Cefuroxime, Linezolid antibiotic, corex syp and metolazone diuretics when partially conscious. He didnt eat much drank 50 ml water in last 14 hours and nothing after that. Later in the evening his oxygen was down to 70 SpO2. In 1.5 hours he was given oxygen with oxygen machine and the oxygen started to increase in a bit.
My husband and son have not exhibited any skin conditions-just me. I have taken your advice and went to an infectious disease specialist. He has taken some cultures and has already put me on a new antibiotic called Zyvox. If the antibiotics doesn't clear the condition-I have considered looking for a new home for the dog. Thanks for your advice. I will see what the cultures suggest. Thanks!
Good afternoon and thank you to anyone/everyone whoever takes the time to read and respond to posts like this. It's so appreciated and provides much comfort to those of us who are really struggling without a place to turn.
Sadly, I've been suffering for 7, coming up to 8 months. Back in December of last year, I ended up holding my bladder far, far longer than I should've.
his symptoms returned immediately when the antibiotics were finished. This resulted in 2 debridement surgeries where all the hardware was removed. He was on 6 weeks of IV Vanco and Rifampin which seem to end the infection. 6 weeks ago the went back in to redo the spinal fusion as his scoliosis was still severe and he had become very kyphotic well into his lumbar spine.
s and one surgery for a port ( my veins were shot) as well as a round of Zyvox pills ($82.00 a pill or $1600.00), I still tested positive. As luck and God would have it, I had been taking amoxicillian before all this happened so I thought "why not finish it, nothing else has worked". I knew when I took the amox, I had started to feel better. I talked my local PA into putting me on 8 weeks of it and low and behold, I have tested negative 2x.
I picked up VRE while in the hospital which was treated with 14 days of IV Zyvox. The VRE came back, in my urine, and I was hospitalized again last week and put back on Zyvox (oral this time). I am also on IV clindamycin and azithromycin, and a long list of other medications. While in the hospital they did daily blood work, of course, and my results have gotten progressively worse. They told me to follow up with my pcp, but my pcp is pretty much useless.
Antibiotics are often targeted to work on some bacteria better than others. Are they suggesting a different antibiotic to rid of staph? Drug resistance is an increasing issue too with staph. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17445677/ Here's an article I found helpful for other ideas for treatment too. https://www.mayoclinic.
and for MRSA ( methyl in resistant staph aureus) there are other drugs. I was given linezolid which had reduced my Haemoglobin to 8 and increased my liver enzymes sky high. They need to monitor your blood regularly with the latter. At the end of the day usually GM is an inflammatory condition and pus usually is sterile. GM may be triggered by bacteria but bacteria die usually with first antibiotics course...good luck.
Enterococcus faecalis is suspectible to Ampicilin,penicilin,rifampin,norfloxacin,vancomycin,linezolid and is resistant to tetracycline and synercid.I'm temporary in US and I have no insurance and I wonder is it wise to take any of these antibiotics,even though I was told by a doctor that antibiotic hardly get to this area and do the work,is there any possibility to eliminate this bacteria in my urine?
the cultures and urine showed Staphylococcus epidermidis which was treated with success with vanc and zyvox. i know S. epi. is a common skin flora but i am confused as to how i was infected. Any insight?
I think it is folliculitis. I was prescribed by physician Amoxicillin Clavulanate 625 mg 1 tab thrice daily + Linezolid 600 mg 1 tab twice daily along with B-complex cap for 7-10 days.
I took the medication for 7 days and all the infection seemed to disappear. But after 2 weeks of finishing my medication, the infection seems to re-occur.
Please advise.

What antibiotic were you on? Quite a few are safe during pregnancy. Some are not.
The doctors ran tests and he had stool in his blood. The doctor gave him CYPROS (antibiotic) for a total of 6 days. He had several CT scans and lately a barium to show the leak is still there with no fistulas. Following the barium, he had a bit of stool coming out of his rectum. My question is, should he not be on antibiotics until this leak repairs itself or should he go back to the OR? If he has a colonostomy, does some bowel still pass in the colon?
