What is batrim used for?
Batrim is a brand name for a combination medication that contains sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. It is commonly used to treat bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, and skin infections. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
Does batrim kill MRSA?
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.
