Azelaic Acid, any other advice for staph?

[Guest guest]

How awesome to get information right when you need it! I was just going to ask

if anyone has had success with treating staph. I have antibiotic resistant

staph from the nasal swab, and I keep getting rosacea and boils. So I will

mention the prescription creams to my doctor.

Anybody know where you can buy the azelaic acid supplements? I haven't found it

at my normal places.

What else have people found useful for staph? Mine is resistant to many

antibiotics...

I found this on a website " To overcome bacterial resistance, some drugs combine

a beta-lactam antibiotic and a beta-lactamase inhibitor, thus creating a stable,

new compound (such as amoxicillin/clavulanate, ampicillin/sulbactam,

piperacillin/tazobactam and ticarcillin/clavulanate) with good activity against

Staph. A useful side benefit of these additions is the extension of the drug's

spectrum to include B. fragilis, which makes the antibiotics attractive choices

when anaerobic bacteria is an issue. "

Azelaic acid has been found to have antibacterial activity against

Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermis (which, by the

way, is the coagulase-negative staph that has been found by Dr. Neil

McGregor in Australia and by Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker in land to

produce infections in the nasal passages of PWCs). It has therefore

been used to treat acne and rosacea.
