How Well Does The Antibiotics Work For MRSA On A Premature Baby?
We have hard a hard 3 weeks dealing with our babies being premature. I was only 27 weeks giving birth. After the loss of one of the babies, we are now more scared about losing the other one. We was told today that his culture came back saying it was mrsa. How well does the antibiotics work for mrsa on a premature baby at only 3 weeks old weighing 2.8lbs?
