    My friend has MRSA every once in a while she is put on antibiotics to stop the infection.

    She has also had surgery on her hip numerous times to remove this infection.

    She had a hip transplant and got MRSA..

    In her case she has had MRSA for ten years ------ she will always have it.

    MRSA is very serious infection, mostly because its ability to adapt on certain medicines. Every case of MRSA requires special treatment and personalized approach. Diagnostic procedure for mrsa is expensive because the goal of diagnosis is to determine exactly which combination of medicines will suppress this dangerous germ. Based on diagnosis procedure, doctors will prescribe combination of antibiotics that is most effective in treatment. And that is not simple and easy.

    All you can do really is wait it out, though antibiotics help. Also take bleach baths because it kills the bacteria. Just make sure you are very sanitary. Clean your washcloths and sheets more often, and do not touch it, because this can lead it to spread to someone else or even find another place on your body. If pus is coming out, I suggest you keep it covered with a bandage. MRSA bacteria can live for a while, so make sure your house is clean and sanitary
