Recently heard of bacitracin being applied to the inside of the nostrils for treatment of chronic Staph (aureus) infection -- specifically methicillin resistant staph. Anybody qualified to comment?

Bactroban is, I think, more commonly used to reduce nasal carriage of MRSA, usually in hospital or nursing home staff, but certainly Bacitracin is also used. This isn't treatment of an infection: it's a means of reducing colonization of the nares in order to prevent spread to individuals likely to develop infection. - Nunh-huh 00:03, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
