Hi, Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. Recurrent staph infection can be controlled by improved personal hygiene such as regular warm water bath twice a day with antiseptic soaps and pairing your nails & hand washings . The use of topical antimicrobial agents (e.g., mupirocin) to eliminate nasal colonization and/or chlorhexidine to eliminate cutaneous colonization with S. aureus often prevents recurrent staph infection. A number of immunization strategies to prevent S. aureus infections—both active (e.g., capsular polysaccharide–protein conjugate vaccine) and passive (e.g., clumping factor antibody)—have been assessed. However, none has been successful for either prophylaxis or therapy. Regards Dr. T.K. Biswas M.D. Mumbai
