Staph Epi: Is a skin flora and I don't think necessarily a pathogen. Ask your doctor why he is treating it? All the best.

??Abscess: You need to see a UROLOGIST...this is an "unusual" infection to being with and persistence after a month of appropriate antibiotic treatment even more "unusual" You need an evaluation by a UROLOGIST. As your "doc" for a referral!

Not responding.: Despite the culture results, sometimes other factors affect the performance of antibiotics in the body and a different antibiotic might be needed. What did your doc say and/or prescribe?
