Hi doctor, How can one cure repeated staph infection. I keep running semen culture tests and it shows moderate to heavy growth of staph aerous. After taking sensitive antibiotics, mostly streptomycin, levofloxacin and or cipro at various times, the infection comes back after some weeks. Pls help me and advice me on what to do, I am sick and tired of taking antibiotic in the last 2 years. Pls advice me accordingly...

Hi
Welcome to HCM
I have read your query. I hope this will help
Staph aureus is a common pathogen in a wide variety of infections..have u had any culture and sensitivity tests previously?
I would suggest you to have a new culture and sensitivity test after stopping antibiotics for atleast 3-7 days and then start the appropriate antibiotic accordingly..and most important thing is that you should consult a urologist to find a risk factor which is causing the persistent infection..
Thanks
