What is the expect outcome of staph infections?
With early intervention and management, and if necessary, treatment with appropriate antibiotic therapy, the prospect for recovery is excellent. However, with antibiotic resistant strains of staph infections, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) the recovery depends on the severity of the infection and if the individual has chronic conditions that impair their body’s immune responses. MRSA-related pneumonia and blood poisoning are associated with higher mortality rates.
