How Contagious Is A Staph Infection After Taking Antibiotics?
My college aged son was diagnosed with your basic staph infection that doctors see a lot with athletes and locker room use, etc. His teammate/roommate s mom is freaking out about her son being exposed since he had pseudomonas as a kid. How exposed is he? How contagious is staph after antibiotic use since my son is worried his teammates will shun him a bit now.
