Hi thanks for asking question in HCM.
Here you have staph infection with strain MRSA.
So usual antibiotic will not be effective.
The drugs that can be used for treating MRSA are linezolid,sulphamethexelol-trimethoprim(septra),Vancomycine,rifampicin.
Usually combination of two antibiotic needed.
Mostly with use of combination drug therapy for adequate duration you will get permanent cure from MRSA.
Thanks.
