Hi
Only option you have is to do a bacterial culture to check for antibiotics sensitivity, usually 2 or 3 antibiotics are used together if you have a resistant strain.
Good Luck
flucloxacillin, dicloxacillin are the antibiotics of choice for the management of serious methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) infections, but first generation cephalosporins (cefazolin, cephalothin and cephalexin), clindamycin, lincomycin and erythromycin have important therapeutic roles in less serious MSSA infections
such as skin and soft tissue infections..where is your infection?
What drugs have you used?
Hi,
if this infection is not respondint to routine antibiotics then either ur immunity levels are too low or these are MRSA organisms.
A culture / sensitivity test on the infected material and starting the appropriate antibiotic,preferably intravenous form should be given.
Thanks
