Avatar m tn The question I have is do you have a wound where the Staph. aureus was found? If so then you would need antibiotic treatment. Although S. aureus can be normal skin bacteria it can also cause wound infections and so forth and some strains are very resistant to antibiotics (MRSA). Have you seen your doctor yet? If you have they should let you know what the treatment plan will be.
Avatar n tn I looked it up and it say it is use to treat acne and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus common in people who are hiv + ? She also has vigoligo. Couple week ago i broke out with the same kind of acne she has. I have test neg in june .
Avatar m tn Regarding your staph infection, yes some of the described symptoms can be caused by staphylococcus aureus, in severe cases. As I understand your form of Staph infection is resistant to many known antibiotics (MRSA) if it could not have been treated for such a long time. The only possibility to treat resistant infections currently is with very strong antibiotics. And only your doctor may determine the correct treatment.
Avatar f tn Hello Dear, MRSA infection is caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria — often called "staph." MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It's a strain of staph that's resistant to the broad-spectrum antibiotics commonly used to treat it. MRSA can be fatal Staph skin infections, including MRSA, generally start as small red bumps that resemble pimples, boils or spider bites. These can quickly turn into deep, painful abscesses that require surgical draining.
Avatar f tn e, we all have S. aureus on our skin but some people are carriers of methicillin resistant S. aureus. You may be one of these people. Best to talk to your doctor about it.
Avatar f tn Some people are colonized with staph aureus, and it lives on their skin without causing issues. I think you can detect fairly low levels if you decide to culture it, though. Why do you want to know?
707563 tn?1626361905 One multidrug resistant bacteria is Staphylococcus aureus. It can become multidrug resistant Staph aureus or (MRSA) and make it difficult to treat. But usually there are a number of antibiotics to treat with . The bigger problem is when they cause recurring infections. Some of these MRSA bacteria "take root" in the area they infected you with and sort of "seed" themselves. You can keep treating it but you really have to stay on top of this if it recurs.

Avatar m tn So it can get in your nose. Staph aureus is also on your skin MRSA is just the resistant form of Staph aureus. So, you probably have the usual skin form. You can get it anywhere. Usually, if it is in the nose it can be from getting dried out then blowing the nose a lot and so forth.You can just either see if the doctor will give you a topical antibiotic and some pills to get rid of it. If you are not allergic to neosporin (triple antibiotic ointment).
1415174 tn?1453243103 Also, it is harder to treat if the bacteria becomes resistant. One resistant type of Staph is Staph aureus. This Staph can become resistant to multiple antibiotics. It is also referred to as MRSA short for Methicillin Resistant Staph aureus. Methicillin is one type of antibiotic. So it is possible that he had a resistant strain of staph or a toxin caused by a Strep. Did you find out the type of bacteria?
Avatar f tn MEthicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus infection - is a form of infection which is resistant to most of antibiotics used currently, there is limited number of antibiotics that actually treat it amongst which are Vancomycin, Clindamycin and etc. It is a very serious disease, If a patient is diagnosed with it he should strictly follow the dosing schedule of the preparations and never forget a dosage as the whole treatment might be ineffective after it.
Avatar f tn Is it Staph epidermidis or Staph aureus. Ask them about that too. If staph epi then it is just normal bacteria and doesn't need treatment if Staph aureus it depends on how much you have of it. If only a few bacteria then they may not treat it but if you have a lot then they will give you an antibiotic. It depends on how what term you are in in your pregnancy if they can give you antibiotics. But the antifungal is a topcial so it should be okay.
Avatar f tn MRSA is Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It is called that because this type of Staph is resistant to methicillin plus several other antibiotics. So it is harder to treat because there are less antibiotics available to treat it with. That doesn't mean they don't have any. They have developed other antibiotics to treat it. However, they are stronger antibiotics and can be harder to take.
Avatar m tn Staph is a common flora that is found on everyones skin and this is quite common. I too had my semen tested due to an ongoing situation and was told that staph was found.. my Drs told me that this is normal and nothing to be concerned about..
Avatar n tn 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. You might want to discuss this with her doctors and ask if consultation with an infectious disease specialist might be appropriate, given that this may be a recurrent Staph infection.
Avatar f tn I think you should see another doctor to get diagnosed by having either a culture done or molecular test to confirm that you have a staph aureus and/or MRSA infection. MRSA is just the form of staph that is more resistant to antibiotics. You don't normally spread staph aureus or MRSA by hugging because the clothes cover the area. So if the area is covered you should be okay.
Avatar n tn he told me 2 stitches were placed in the femoral artery and that my sartoris muscle was moved and flip over like a flap and stitched to cover my exposed fem artery. the material cultured from my leg grew staph aureus and i have been on iv vancomycin via picc line for the past 4 weeks. the wound was left open to heal by secondary intent and i had a wound vac for several weeks and now the remaining open wound gets a wet to dry dressing once daily.
Avatar m tn I had a nasal swab test done four years ago which came back positive for staph aureus, though doctors did not mention MRSA. Over the next few years I went to other doctors and a dermatologist, given such medications as bactrim, clindamycin, doxycyclin, mupirocin ointment, etc. None have worked. I went to a primary care doctor last week who performed a general bacterial culture on one of the sores I squeezed and sent of to the lab.
Avatar f tn Gram neg on first oral culture but still CA.
Avatar m tn Antiobiotics (the right kind) is very important with staph especially as trialanderror said, it can be resistant or develop resistance to many antiobiotics. It might be wise to consult the doctors if the staph infections do not clear up as it may be MRSA or Community-Acquired MRSA.
Avatar m tn Staph aureus can be antibiotic resistant (MRSA and to a lesser extent VRSA) and it is important to know what this particular bug is susceptible to so that it can be properly treated. We have Staph on our skin just as normal flora. To be labeled a "carrier" makes me think that she is a MRSA carrier but of course I'm just guessing based on the word "carrier" since we all carry staph on our skin. Let us know how it went for your sister. Take care.
Avatar n tn When you take an antibiotic it can put selective pressure on bacteria to become resistant but the Staph aureus you have is not resistant so apparently the antibiotics you took haven't affected the staph you have by "selective pressure". However, it is possible the other bacteria in the intestines and elsewhere can possible have been affected. Regarding the L form bacteria you mentioned.
Avatar n tn Its kind of hard to determine without seeing the actual sores, but it could be staph infection. MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) which is a type of staph infection is serious, if MRSA is suspected she should be taken to a doc asap. Staph can progress to impetigo (crusting of the skin) which might explain the area above her ear. Can you image search staph or MRSA and maybe give us a good description of the pustules?
Avatar m tn It sounds like a resistant staph to me. Staph aureus cause boils, furuncles, and folliculitis and other problems. Do you see any scabs or sores on your skin that have a hair growing out of them? So I wonder if you have folliculitis, which is infection of the hair follicle? It is good if you can get to the source of the infection. Yes one thing is to try to keep your body dry once you do exercise and finish sweating and cool down then shower and then dry yourself very well.
Avatar m tn staph aureus is normal bacterin on all of our skin. Having it show up on the testing you had done can be contamination or it can be overgrowth in the urinary tract which needs testing. proper treatment with antibiotics will clear this right up for you.
Avatar m tn Hi Yep, It appears that this staph aureus, can be got on the skin, nose or rectum, The symptoms of MRSA in the rectum can start with pimples or boils. The rectum may be swollen and inflamed with the infection. Small bumps on the skin can quickly turn into painful abscesses that may require draining by a doctor. Do hope his helps.
Avatar n tn Now her regular smear has shpwn up vaginal staph aureus and her doctor has reccommended erythromycin or flucloxacillin. Or leavie it untreated. She lives in Morocco at the moment. What do you think? She also has a history of severe acne when younger-treated twice with Roaccutane-and this has recurred, but not too severely. Also-she is on a contraceptive for severe PMT with a cycle every 3 months.
