I have been cultured twice for MRSA. Once in January and once last month. Each one came back for large colonies. It is sensitive to dicloxyzine 100 mg BID. This is my third week of taking this abx. I have a 7 hour back surgery on August 15. My surgeon wants me to stay on the abx until after surgery. Do you think surgery will still be safe because of the MRSA? I m an RN and I probably got it from patient care at a hospital?
HiT hanks for posting your query.  Since you have been started on an antibiotic to which it is known that MRSA is sensitive, and also you have taken more than 2 weeks of that Antibiotic, I think you have been adequately covered under antibiotic protection and hence you can safely go ahead with the Surgery.  I agree with your Surgeon and advise you to continue same antibiotic for a week more after the surgery. Hope you find this information useful. Any clarification feel free to ask. Regards.
