A member asked:
What antibiotics can be use in treatment of urinary tract infection caused by staphylococcus aureus when ciprofloxacin is no more effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Staph aureus: This is complex. To begin, s. Aureus almost always produces UTI hematogenously, and so looking for the primary source is essential. To choose an antibiotic for this correctly you must have in vitro sensitivities, and then depending upon the extent of disease choose the route, frequency and dosage of the appropriate agent.
