“Staphylococcus aureus in nose. What is it?”

If you can tell me if it’s MRSA, or the regular flavored generic staff aureus, that would be of monumental importance. To understate that, would be a disservice to treatment and physician and care providers all alike. So, is staphylococcus aureus of your nose colonized a problem? No! You need to get Bactroban treatment and a retest. If you have symptoms, you need to go to your doctor or your closest emergency room to get taken care of. A Mercer infection is nothing to mess around with.

Normal skin bacterium. Unless MRSA. Can be treated with bactroban topical ointment

The practitioner who did test is the best person to answer this. Was it MRSA (methicillin resistant)? Doesn't mean you are ill from it, but there can be carrier states, which can potentially be harmful to an immunosuppressed person. Usually cleared with nasal ointment (Bactroban, also comes generic).
