Last year I was hit hard by MRSA. Put me in the hospital for four days. It took several months to get it out of my system.
The drugs that finally took care of it was a combination of older antibiotics.
My doctor told me that many of the new strains have become resistant to the new drugs and have actually left themselves open for attack via the older stuff.
It worked for me.
I just got my picc line removed yesterday after 56 days of cubicin. I’m running out of antibioitics.
The problem is there is no $ incentive to produce antibiotics. No long term monetary benefit to the pharm companies to do so.
