Has anyone used Mupirocin in powder form for the use of Golden Staph in their nasal sinusis?

Question

I have had 3 sinus operations ,the last one was radical , but i still suffer from fungul sinusitis and have a golden staph infection in my sinusis and nasal passages . My doctor now wants to include me in a study for my condition using Mupirocin in powder form . I will be using a flow bottle with a mixture of saline water and the powder twice a day, for 21 days. Any one ever heard off this or something similar and what were the results? My condition is completely resistant to any other anti biotics and pennicilin. If any one else is using the powder ,not the ointment ,please send me an answer. Thank you and God Bless You. NICKY

Well, you are referring to a Staph. aureus infection. Aureus in latin means "gold". You also seem to be referring to MRSA, or Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. As far as I know, they only have a few more antibiotics that can fight this bacteria, and Mupirocin doesn't sound like one of them. You might want to get a second opinion. Good luck with it all.
