Hi, I was just told I have Acinetobater Lwoffii. I went in for a biopsy, it never started healing and a rash formed and it was itching really bad, went back into the dermotoligist office and they did a culture and it came back as MRSA. Started on Tetracycline right away for 14 days. Went in to my family doctor to get checked to have a all clear through a nose swab and another culture of the area, now this. I have requested another culture to be done before a start another series of antibiotics. I don t know what to do ??
Hi, According to me, you can go for the second culture testing. Because, the report will show whether the infection is still present or not.  I also request you not to stop the antibiotic prematurely, which could lead to antibiotic resistance. Please do follow your doctors instructions and follow up the same doctor whom you are consulting. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
