Question 1

a friend of mine did a hvs m/c/s test the test result. culture after 24hrs at 37'c yielded moderate growth of staph spp, what could this be.

Accepted Answer

Staph flora: Staph flora are always there on the skin. Where was the culture taken from?  If it was urine culture you should talk to the dr.

Question 2

what is the best course of treatment for staph negative growth in 7 days old infant?

Accepted Answer

: Negative growth means there was no germs found on the test. That is normal, you don't "treat" normal. Treatment in any case requires a knowledge of all the factors under consideration, not just one lab test.

Question 3

got a  result wed for scant growth of staph/script forbactrim ds for 7 days- on day 3/rash still there. how fast does it work?do i need to call dr?

Accepted Answer

Give it a few days: This culture does not make a diagnosis. A large number of people with normal skin will culture staph. A scant growth probably means this is not the problem. You may need to see a dermatologist for more precise definition of what is there ; how to fix it.

Question 4

hi there i have been told upon results of vaginal swab that i have a heavy growth of staph aureous . i have no concerning symptoms should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Normal skin bacteria: There is no reason to be worried.  Staph aureus is a  bacteria that is a normally on skin and  everyone has it. If you have no symptoms, then treat the swab result  as  a normal result

Question 5

have a staph growth in the penis and its resistant to man antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

: Staph are quite sensitive to application of hydrogen peroxide. Their cells absorb it and it ruptures/kills them. Try frequent local applications &amp; see if that helps. The hydrogen peroxide breaks down to water after use. It might sting a little but should not damage your tissue.

Question 6

my urine was sent for a laboratory  test and it was found that there is a significant growth of staph spp i want to how may contact staph ?

Accepted Answer

Always around us?: Person to person contact, air, may be other sources.

Question 7

after a urine m/c/s, my result says scanty growth of staph spp after 48 hours. do i need to see a doctor and how bad is this result?

Accepted Answer

Staph: If you dont have any symptoms like urinary frequency or burning, then this result is likely from a contamination from normal skin bacteria in the sample. The safest thing to do is repeat the test or do a home urine dipstick to check for leukocytes.

Question 8

after treatment of culture growth of staph (sti) i still have some discharge, ..is this normal? am scared i just want to know if anything else is wrong

Accepted Answer

See your Doctor: Sorry, this is the kind of problem that really needs to be seen to know what to do.  Continued discharge after treatment of a bacterial infection is not a good sign.  You should see your doctor as soon as possible to know what is happening.  Good luck to you.

Question 9

significant staph growth shows in two (2) months old baby's ears. what is the best treatment.

Accepted Answer

Staph: if is the MRSA strain then Bactria is a good choice if it is not MRSA strain then ke flex will work well

Question 10

i have a chest pain and a staph growth in my penis and have taken many antibiotics and i guess its mrsa , please what can i do to get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

: You mention chest pain but no details about it. You provide a diagnosis for the growth of the penis. More information is needed. Do you have staph, what is going on with the chest?  I suggest seeing a doctor in person. Sometimes chest pain is serious and requires an emergency room (ER) visit, note I am not saying you need to go to the ER I don't have enough information to help you.
