Staph ??

[zoe4life]

Hi all! This is probably a really stupid question, but I just started thinking about it and was wondering.....

Zoe cultured MRSA from her bronch in May. All of her previous "throat" swabs before that showed "normal flora". She went to clinic Tuesday, they called today and told me her thoat swab from last week grew "normal staph" not MRSA, so she is "good to go", they don't treat it. Is this what everyone else has experienced??

Thanks!

Aidan has had Staph A pretty much since birth. It showed up on his first culture after newborn screening. Our CF doc doesn't treat it, he says it may keep the PA at bay. Warwick told us that he is probably colonized at this point so only treat the flare-ups.

Lili's dr has always put her on antibiotics for staph - I don't know if that is what most drs do or not, I'll be interested to hear what others say

My daughter has always treated for staph when it shows up on a sputum culture - but it always came at a time with increase cough and ugly colored mucus -- it was quite clear that it was a lung infection with staph being the culprit.

My son has cultured staph on a throat culture and the same doctor did not treat - I'm assuming it is because the count was lower, it was a throat culture and not sputum, no other symptoms, and may have even been a different strain of staph too.

So you may be just fine doing nothing, if you don't see any other problems going along with the throat culture results. You should just give them a call and ask for more information, just so you feel better about it - maybe they can tell you what the count was or the strain, which will give a better picture of what is or isn't going on.
