cure for staphylococus aerus?

Question

for 8 years I have tried all means to cure staphylococus aerus, but have failed, every time I urinate I feel burns and the the lab diagnosed it as moderate growth of staphylococus. I have tried herbs as well as other medicins from the hospital, but yet I am still having it. it is causing me severe body weakness and waste pains. pls what should I do next, save my soul DOCTOR.

Answer 1

get a different doctor, this should be resolved with the appropiate antibiotics. A culture and sensitivity test of your urine will tell what antibiotic works.

Answer 2

Antibiotic resistance in S. aureus was almost unknown when penicillin was first introduced in 1943; indeed, the original petri dish on which Alexander Fleming observed the antibacterial activity of the penicillium mould was growing a culture of S. aureus. By 1950, 40% of hospital S. aureus isolates were penicillin reisistant; and by 1960, this had risen to 80%.

Today, S. aureus has become resistant to many commonly used antibiotics. In the UK, only 2% of all S. aureus isolates are sensitive to penicillin with a similar picture in the rest of the world. The β-lactamase resistant penicillins (methicillin, oxacillin, cloxacillin and flucloxacillin) were developed to treat penicillin-resistant S. aureus and are still used as first-line treatment. Methicillin was the first antibiotic in this class to be used (it was introduced in 1959), but only two years later, the first case of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) was reported in England. Despite this, MRSA generally remained an uncommon finding even in hospital settings until the 1990's when there was an explosion in MRSA prevalence in hospitals where it is now endemic.

First line treatment for MRSA is currently glycopeptide antibiotics (vancomycin and teicoplanin). There are number of problems with these antibiotics, mainly centred around the need for intravenous administration (there is no oral preparation available), toxicity and the need to monitor drug levels regularly by means of blood tests. There are also concerns that glycopeptide antibiotics do not penetrate very well into infected tissues (this is a particular concern with infections of the brain and meninges and in endocarditis). Glycopeptides must not be used to treat methicillin-sensitive S. aureus as outcomes are inferior.

In situations where the incidence of MRSA infections is known to be high, the attending physician may choose to use a glycopeptide antibiotic until the identity of the infecting organism is known. When the infection is confirmed to be due to a methicillin-susceptible strain of S. aureus, then treatment can be changed to flucloxacillin or even penicillin as appropriate.

Vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA) is a strain of S. aureus that has become resistant to the glycopeptides. The first case of vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) was reported in Japan in 1996; but the first case of S. aureus truly resistant to glycopeptide antibiotics was only reported in 2002. Three cases of VRSA infection have been reported in the United States.

Answer 3

Usually a combination of dicloxacillan and rifampin will eradicate nearly any strain of Staph, even the more resistant varieties. To really do the job however you need a fairly long treatment time, like 21 to 30 days, not the usual 10 to 14 days.

Answer 4

Staph infection for eight years. This is too long for you to have. Have you been tested for the resistant strain of MRSA (methcillin resistant staph aureas). If not demand that your doctor do this test. It needs to be done and many times it is overlooked. Next, ask about changing the PH of your urine to make is less prone to growing infections. You doctor can help you here as well. Not familar with any alternative medications.
