What is MRSA??? I was given Mupirocin pre op fer my SCS procedure by my nero sergeon . But everything i read, it says not to get it in the nose area. I have the implant now. But, im having a horrible sinus infection thats is going around at the fitness center i work at. Is it ok to use this to help get over the infection, and will it help also prevent it??

Hello,
MRSA is a specific bacteria that have developed resistance towards a group of antibiotics, known as Methicillin-resistant-staphylococcus-aureus. It is very hard to deal with, and I would recommend you to go and visit infections or dermatologist. These cases mostly treated with vancomycin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Eni
