How do you heal a staph infection?

Answer 1

Staphylococcus, a Gram positive bacteria. is tremendously common, and lives everywhere, so you see a lot of staph infections. This infection in its many forms is treated with antibiotics.

Depending on where the infection strikes, there are many topical, oral and injectable antibiotics that work well on staph. The main concern is that you want a penicillinase resistant antibiotic. So antibiotics that are susceptible to penicillinase need to be paired with a penicillinaseblocker, or you need to go with a non-suseceptible antibiotic.

A very short list of popular non-suscepticles includes (but it not limited to):

• Vancomycin
• Levaquin (levofloxacin)
• Cipro (ciprofloxacin)
• Keflex (semi-synthetic cephalosporin)
• Zyvox (linezolid) -- also effective against MRSA and LRE
• Cubicin (daptomycin) -- also effective against MRSA and LRE

I'm not saying your answer is wrong, but I thought staph couldn't be cured. Aren't all of these possibly dangerous to the patient's health? It could hurt/kill the patient instead of killing the staff. Also, I have heard you would have to use a dangerously high amount of these "items". Correct me if needed to be corrected. I am eager to know.

A skin discoloration is not necessarily a staph infection. However, if one has a staph infection, it should be treated with antibiotics. A skin culture should first be taken, however, to ensure that the strain of staph is not multi-drug resistant.

Answer 5

Staph infections require an antibiotic that is specific to treating staph infections. Assuming it is not methicillin resistant, (MRSA), doctors will typically prescribe Keflex or a similar drug to treat it.
