What are the effective antibiotics that can control infections and abscesses caused by staphylococcus aures?

Staphylococcus aures do not succumb sometimes to the intravenous applications of many antibiotics.

bacterial infection consists of countless individual bacteria. Most infections caused by S. aureus are treatable with antibiotics. However, there is a strong possibility that a few bacteria will survive a course of antibiotics, perhaps due to gene mutation. The antibiotic-resistant S. aureus bacteria that remain then flourish, since they no longer have to compete for resources with the rest of the colony.

Before antibiotics, a severe infection was fatal for many people. Penicillin was effective in treating S. aureus until the bacterium became resistant. Throughout the second half of the 20th century, new antibiotics such as methicillin and vancomycin were developed, which successfully treated S. aureus infections.

Methicillin-resistant strains of S. aureus evolved in the 1970s and have troubled hospitals worldwide with persistent infections in patients.Give good antibiotics list

    Huh? This sounds suspiciously like a school assignment.

    Garden variety S. aureus is easily treatable by antibiotics. The proper choice can range from penicillin to Fortaz. It depends on the patient, the risk factors, and the site of the infection.

    Vancomycin and Bactrim DS. Those are the only two I see prescribed in the ER
