Hi Doc,
Today's result shows that the bacteria is Staphylococcus aureus. So what does this mean??? could you please explain what are these?
Hello,
Staphylococcus hemolyticus is resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents even vancomycin. It is multidrug resistant especially to chloramphenicol, fluoroquinlones, co-trimoxazole, erythromycin, oxacillin, ampicillin and penicillin G.
Appropriate antibiotic can be started only after repeat culture sensitivity, the report if which you will be getting soon. Injudicious use of antibiotics by hit and trial method can cause worsening and superimposed fungal infection. So get the antibiotics prescribed by your doctor.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
