Yes, staphylococcal infection can be cured by choosing proper antibiotics. Penicillin group of antibiotics definitely helps to prevent the multiplication of the cocci and helps to prevent symptoms caused by these bacteria.
Antibiotics in combination like amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium as got very effective action against this bacteria.
You can get the antibiotics by consulting your doctor and get a prescription for the treatment of the infection.
Thank you.
