A member asked:

I was diagnosis with endoscapy/culture for h influenza bacteria . now i have non mrsa staph. how did i get staph in my sinuses when already on antibiotics?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Different antibiotic: for different bacteria. Different bacteria often require different antibiotics to control their growth. Non-MRSA staph in the nose is not a disease and may not require any treatment depending on your health conditions.
