Before : Before trying to answer this, would like to clarify. Was your fiance diagnosed to be a carrier of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureous who was healthy? Did your fiance have a serious infection with methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureous ? Or was your fiance successfully treated with an antibiotic called methicillin? Each of this scenarios is quite different.
