Thanks Manda,
I guess that is why. My doctor said that oxacillin can be taken by mouth and methacillin is an IV drug and therefore they shouldn't be compared in the same way...Anyway, I do hope that bactrim and others stay okay and someone continues to work on other cures... Thanks again, Lori

I think it is because Methacillin..(M in Mrsa) Is in the same drug
class as oxicillin. All of them are synthecic penicillins and because
10 years ago penicillin was used to treat EVERYTHING and abused the
staph evolved therefore creating MRSA so it could survive.
The question I have is what happens if it evolves to where cyldomicin
and Vactomincin and Bactrim no longer work...then what?
Hope that helped.
