Hello,
MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria. If you have MRSA, then you may need oral or intravenous antibiotics which are susceptible to the infection. For this it can be determined by microbiological techniques done in a lab regarding which antibiotic(s) can kill the MRSA and use it alone or, more often, in combination with additional antibiotics to treat the infection.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
