Cured, funny word: You would know if you are cured of an infection caused by this organism if the infection is resolved and you finished the antibiotics. However, it can stay with you as a colonizer without causing an acute infection but it could in the future. Usually, a nasal swab and culture will detect if you're colonized or not.
