What Causes Staph Infection In The Throat?
Is a staph infection in your throat contagious? My daughter was tested for strep Sunday and placed on amoxicillin when the rapid strep test came back negative. Today, they changed her antibiotic to erythromycin and said her culture was positive for staph. Is she contagious?

Hi,
I have gone through your query; it suggests that throat infection with staph as such is not contagious. It only contagious when staph containing material exchange with wound/cut of another person.
Thanks
