Hello
Thanks for query .You have been detected to have Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcal Aureus (MRSA) infection of prostate .

MRSA infection of prostate is very rare but serious disease however since it is detected early take appropriate antibiotic as per culture report .
It takes very long time for complete cure hence you may need to take medications for a long period say 6-8 weeks and till the time culture becomes sterile .

It is curable disease provided one takes antibiotics religiously .
