Bactrim, doxycycline can be used for staph.
What can you take for staph infections?
antibiotics like cloxacillin
How do you cure staph infection?
Appropriately targeted antibiotics are required.
Is staph infection and MRSA the same thing?
Yes and no. MRSA is a specific type of staph infection - MRSA is an acronym for Methicillin resisant Staphylococcus aureas. It denotes that the specific Staph organism has developed resistance to an antibiotic which is commonly used to treat skin and soft tissue infections. Because of this resistance, MRSA infections are harder to treat. For some reason, MRSA organisms are also frequently more virulent, meaning they cause worse infections. Currently, there are two different types of MRSA, hospital acquired and community acquired. These are denoted as HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA. HA-MRSA are more frequently the more virulent variety and are resistant to more antibiotics, while the CA-MRSA organisms are easier to treat and usually cause only boils and folliculitides, rather than systemic infections and pneumonias, like the HA-MRSA. MSSA, methicillin sensitive Staph aureas, is still the most common form of staph infection in most parts of the U.S. and can be treated pretty easily with many different types of antibiotics.
What is important about staph?
Staph, or staphylococcus is a type of bacteria that is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics. The most resistant of these are MRSA and can be very dangerous.
Is a staph infection dangerous to humans?
Yes, very. Especially the newer "resistant" staph infections. There are some strains of staph that cannot be treated with antibiotics. Staph infections can kill and staph infections that you encounter at hospitals are typically the most difficult to treat.
How can methicillin resistant Staph aureus MRSA be treated?
Usually it can be treated with antibiotics.
Can Neosporin Ointment work on a staph infection?
Neosporin Ointment, which contains antibiotics, may help prevent infection in minor cuts and scrapes, but it is not effective for treating staph infections. Staph infections can be serious and often require prescription antibiotics for proper treatment. If you suspect a staph infection, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
Is E coli larger than Stapylococcus aureas?

How long does it take to cure staph infection?
I have a staph infection small spots all over my body.I am taking antibiotics. How long does it take to heal. I was not told to stay away from people.
Should a baby with staph in the blood be hospitilized?
There are two sero-types of Staph that may be found in an infant: Staph epidermis (usually just a contaminant) and Staph aureus - Staph aureus is a highly dangerous microbe and would need IV antibiotics. So, the type of microbe in the blood and the medical condition of the baby would detemine if hospitalization is needed. RBB, MD
Can Staph be cured?
depends, some strains of the bacteria contain a unique gene that allows them to break down a large number of the antibiotics we would normally used to treat that type of infection, these strains are called methicillin resistant staph aureus (MRSA) and they most certainly are a super bug other strains do not have this gene and are called methicillin sensitive staph auresus (MSSA) and these are no worse than any other bacteria the problem being that hospitals are seeing more and more MRSA and less and less MSSA, it is the bacterial species evolving in front of our eyes in response to the continued use of antibiotics against them
