Skin and Structure Infection
"As per procedure, before a hospital stay for a knee replacement I had to have my nose swabbed.  Prior to this I had a scab in my nose that hurt so I had been using Bactroban on it.  When I went for my surgery everyone was gowning up before they came into my room because apparently my nose swab results came back positive for MRSA, and the Bactroban was detected as well.  I was told Bactroban was the right medicine to use for the infection and actually by the time of my surgery my nose was already healed."
