A member asked:
After a staphylococcal infection with a clindmycin 6-day treatment, do i still have staph bacteria on my skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You could: Clindamycin will not eradicate staph. Aureus colonization of the skin or nares. Bactroban (mupirocin) ointment in the nares and hibiclens soap showers and shampoos are used for decolonization.
