Is Staph Aureus Contagious?

2023-04-04 17:08:20
I have recently been diagnoised with Organism: Staph Aureus in my throat culture with only 5 antibiotics sensitive, even it is resistant to Vancomycin. I have been suffering from it since 10 years now. I had visited more than 7 to 8 doctors, even tried ayurvedic and homeopathy treatments but no body diagnosed it correctly until recently. I have been on Clarithromycin and Moxifloxacin. Still I don't see much improvement. I am worried that it might have spread to my family members. How can I assure that it has not been spread, I really worried about my family. Please help. Which specialist should I approach who has proper understanding of this serious infectious disease for my family. Also is it treatable or I have to accept the fact that it is not treatable anymore.
