Bactrim, a combination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, is often effective against certain strains of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), particularly those that are susceptible to sulfamethoxazole. However, not all MRSA strains are susceptible, so susceptibility testing is important. It's typically used for uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infections caused by MRSA. Always consult a healthcare provider for the most appropriate treatment options.
