> Hi Cyndi --- I just completed a six week treatment for MSRA. The antibiotics
that worked were minocycline and sulfamethoxazolle/tmp --- and an ointment for
the infection and for regular use in nose where the staph infection usually
resides. The ointment which I put in my nose everyday to prevent is mupirocin!
--- It is very important to wah your hands regularly, and do not gfo from your
nose to an open wound. I did a lot of research and I am failry confident I will
not have a reoccurrence if I follow the preventive steps.
