I've been culturing Staph Aureus since the 1980s. I've been on dozens of oral abx. Once I did the IV abx and for that I took Cefepime and Tobramycin. You need to look at your cultures and see what variety of staph you're culturing and what kind of abx it's susceptible to. Your doctors should be doing that, but just incase you can ask for copies of your culture results and see for yourself. There are several different classes of abx all of which work differently. To name some of the ones I've had for S.Aureus: Bactrim, amoxicillin, penacillin, azithromycin, levaquin, amantadine (that was back in the 80s not sure they make it now, but it was a serious hallucinogenic abx!). ~Juliet

No ive never tried nebulizing Colistin...ive actually never heard of that. But unfortunately i have a low tolerance for inhaled antibiotics. The only things that i can tolerate are my normal treatments (Albuterol, Pulmozime.) Sorry im a terrible speller im only 14. =P

14? Wow, you are really pro-active. That's really great. Did you know that you can dilute inhaled antibiotics with a lot of either saline or sterile water to make it more tolerable. Something that you can ask your doctor and pharmacist about. For me, I have to take something like Albuterol immediately before Tobi, or I'll cough my head off -- and also not be able to tolerate it.
I have even taken a long acting bronchodilator like Foradil or Brovana (lasts 12 hours), then do all my other inhaled meds, then the Flutter and then take an inhaler puff or two of short acting bronchodilator puff right before an inhaled antibiotic(with doctor approval). If you take too much, it's bad. Heart can race and you get shaky.
Colistin is a drug that covers staph, although most of the time they don't treat staph anyway, unless it's causing symtoms. Are you having symptoms? You haven't heard of Colistin because it is not routinely covered in a culture. It has to be requested.
I think it's very cool that you are researching things that can help you at only 14.
