Salmonella and MRSA??????

[pepper12]

Hi

My daughter of 13 weeks (adopted from Ethiopia) has been diagnosed with ESBL resistant salmonella concord (hope I have said it right).  Also with MRSA positive swabs in her nose and throat.  Now I don't know if I am posting this in the right place but...... what I wanted to know is ...... both of these are resistant to antibiotics......are they both resistant to penecillins and if so is there any point in ever giving her penecillin antibiotics for any infection over the years or should we use a different family of antibiotics?   In other words ....could she be inherently/genetically (probably wrong words) resistant to penecillin?????

Poor mite also has had chicken pox, hepatitis A, chest infection for at least 5 weeks but now gone thank god.  Also thrush both ends.  Her immune system is on the floor but thankfully she seems to be over the salmonella.

Does any of that even make sense????  Also would a probiotic help or not at this stage??

Many thanks

Hi there,

It would be great if you posted this to Gastro, the doctor forums, they are great at answering ?s  This could be prenatal and/or genetic. What doctors has she seen?
