How is S. aureus infection treated?
In most cases, S. aureus infection can be successfully treated with a range of antibiotics, although sometimes the bacteria are resistant to the most commonly used treatments. For example, more than 95 percent of patients with S. aureus infections worldwide do not respond to first-line antibiotics such as penicillin or ampicillin. Moreover, strains with reduced susceptibility to antibiotics such as methicillin and vancomycin have recently emerged, which means that current treatments may become ineffective for treating such strains. Conservative and appropriate use of antibiotics will be critical to the prevention of additional drug-resistant strains.

staph aureus infection is usually treated with antibiotics (oxacillin, cloxacillin, or any of its family). the route could be either orally or parenterally (intravenous injections) depending on the severity and location of the infection. go have yourself seen by a health practitioner.
