My doc took a stool sample and results showed Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureu bacteria present. She prescribed Bactrim which I had an allergic reaction to. But before I try another antibiotic can you please tell me if these intestinal bacteria can go away on their own without using and antibiotic???
Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that Staphylococcus aureus is the communal flora or normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract. Sometimes they may isolate as pathogenic bacteria, but it requires clinical correlation. So if it is clinically suspected than it requires a treatment. Though they do not spread buy infection cause by them are localized and serious. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.
