Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that is generally not the first choice for treating staph infections, particularly those caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). While it may be effective against some strains of Staphylococcus aureus, its use is often limited due to resistance patterns. For staph infections, other antibiotics like vancomycin or clindamycin are typically preferred. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options.
