Im cutting and pasting this from our dicussion last year in response to some questions from you guys about which oral antibiotics work for MRSA skin and soft tissue infections:
According to the most recent published IDSA (Infectious Disease Society of America) guidelines for skin and soft tissue infections 50% of MRSA strains have inducible or constitutive (can enact so to speak) CLINDAMYCIN RESISTANCE. To all the people on this community I say this: PROGRESSION DESPITE ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY should raise flags for resistant microbes OR a deeper/more serious infection. Again...a list of first line ORAL therapy for MRSA per the IDSA guidelines: Daptomycin (cubicin), doxycycline (vibramycin), minocycline (minocin), Linezolid (Zyvox)....and AFTER you get the culture results you can see if it is sensitive to Clindamycin, Septra (Bactrim), etc Dr O.
