Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA): Prevention and Treatment
Diagnostic Tests

If a doctor suspects a patient has been exposed to the infectious bacteria and symptoms are present, they will conduct a biopsy or tests of all or one of the following: blood, urine, body fluid, or a wound swab. It would then have to be determined which antibiotic would work best to fight the illness. In some cases, antibacterial soaps, nasal ointments, or antibacterial shampoo will do the trick. A reported forty percent of confirmed cases had been reduced using these drug-free methods.
