How Can a Staph or a MRSA Infection be Treated?

Jeff Boyd, PhD, assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Microbiology at Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, outlines some treatment options for Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections.

I had a car wreck which caused my tibia to have a compound fracture. 2 weeks After the surgery to insert hardware in my leg I was showing signs of infection and was in complete agony for days to find out it was MRSA. All I can say is that if you have a friend or family who has it as well and they are complaint, believe them and be there for them. My bone sticking out of my leg was nothing compared to the feeling of MRSA. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy

Great explanation. I'm currently on antibiotics for Staph and my doctor didn't explain even 1/2 of what he said

This is my 5th time getting MRSA since this past July... The 3rd time I had a full blown outbreak. Blisters throughout my body. I counted over 17 lesions, blisters, and absysses in just between my legs. 3 of them over 6 inches long, 3-4 inches wide, 3-4 inches in diameter. I was admitted into the hospital because it almost took my life. I was sent home on a PIC Line, which also almost took my life causing blood clots. Just one abyss is extremely painful. My body was riddled all over. This one absyss I have now is in my inner thigh. My Dr had to drain it, then packed it with gauze. Which means it will have to be repacked every other day, tearing out flesh and tissue. The last one they had to drain and pack was small. This one is much deeper. Pain and agony on top of more pain and agony. I'm so over having this. This is for the birds. I am so strong in my faith, I am usually in such a strong mind set spiritually and physically, but I am now feeling defeated. I hope and pray I find answers to how to get rid of it for good🙏🏼

My aunt brenda over 20 years ago died from this my prayers and thoughts who had or got the infection and any one have infection or died or had family members or friends with this infection. It can be horrible disease and kill in just a few hours my aunt died less then 12 hours from this mrsa infection it spread like wild fire she wrnt into muti organ failer she was only 58 to. Im sending my condolences to everyone family and friends who have been taken away and also to anyone who had this to and survived

Incision & Drainage must be the first line protocol treatment for all MRSA abscess infections. I&D removes the infection potential by physically removing necrotic cells along with most of the MRSA microorganism cells. Simply opening up the abscess & scraping & culling out all the pus and necrotic tissue makes anyone feel better! using antibiotics often fails or leads to the MRSA progressing & eventually it becomes a systemic (blood born) infection requiring immediate hospitalization and potential for contracting HA-MRSA (Hospital Acquired MRSA). I&D works far better as it is a far more aggressive & helpful first line healing protocol treatment.

I'd like to add there is MRSA inside the body (like mine that's attached to my hardware I got from spinal fusion surgery) and then there's the more physically contagious skin MRSA. It's probably the same kind - just showing up different places.

That's something I was worried about when I got it bc I didn't want to infect others. 9 years later and I haven't infected anyone, Hopefully never will.

Just wanted to put that out there in case anyone is going thru the kind I have and are curious about that. I didn't really trust the nurses telling me oh everyone has it and not doing proper handwashing and PPE dealing with me. Those type of Healthcare workers are probably how I got it in the first place while in the hospital.

I keep getting boils on forehead when I sweat. My skin swells up and it looks like a lump. I used to get impetigo on my nose when I was younger. Just really annoying. Sometimes if I’m anxious or stressed my skin breaks out as well. just want it to be cured. Really affects my confidence as well.

I had to get surgery for mine, took antibiotics for months, now I have a terrible scar on my leg that I really hate

[Mr.SpcK]

He didn't talked about, how an Staph Infection is treated, in the Case of Dissemination.

[candyopal]

This is what worked for me ( not a doctor)

neem oil (Azadirachta indica) on a big bandaid kept on for 24 hours x how meany days till it clears up. For me it's 4 days if caught early.

Pau D'arco as a tea plus herbal pills 4 pills × 3 times a day till cleared up

Neem oil may cause allergic reactions and is hard on kidneys, but is the most effective out of all the oils I've experimented with. hope this helps 🙏 good luck.

So you’re saying that 30% of the population have staph in the sinus naturally? Does that mean it doesn’t need to be treated?
I was told by my doctor that I have staph in my sinus, and I was given an antibiotic that contained antifreeze and completely destroyed my digestive system. However, it didn’t clear the staph in my sinus. And I wonder how it could of, when it wasn’t put into my sinus? Does it need to be treated or not?

How he says it's not to worry about; sorry not entirely true My Father died from a staph infection, a coworker's brother dies at under 40 of staph infection/ now at work we have had more than 4 confirmed staph infections one with staph on leg, 2 workers who spend time in fridge both got staph in lungs, now I'm home sick with blisters all over my body and a raw throat is it staph...

Whats the localmtreatment for nasal colonized marsa

[abyss]

Large amounts of Vancomycin and self administration of Betadine for the wounds is what got me through....it was no big deal....

[sniffableandirresistble]

Bacterial infections are a nightmare it's the feeling of being trapped inside your own body as this stuff tries to kill you. No escape

Its on my eyelas area. I got it after swimming in public pool 2 years ago. I went to doc so many times and he kept telling me i have plephritis. Weeks ago i insisted on a swab and it came bacj with this staph. Its coming back less and i take antibiotics now but s few minths ago i fainted and i was very hot. My bp mustve been very low and i guess it was tss. Im not dead obviously but i will probably report doc to health dept. For negligence. 2 years!! Of a weeping red burny eye and waking up with very red eyes and crusting on lashes. 2 years!! My nose is crusted insude. It must be in my nose too
