Hi,
From the history I am not completely sure where the staphylococcal aureus infection is. I presume that you are speaking about Urinary tract Infection (UTI). If I am correct, then I would consider 2 years of infection to be a pretty long duration and there are certain things which needs to be done. First thing to do is a culture sensitivity test of the urine if not done recently after the last course of antibiotic. Secondly an ultrasound scan of the abdomen needs to be done to rule out any anatomical problems or deviations that is not letting the infection clear. The treatment is only antibiotics and based on the culture report and the clinical seriousness, your treating physician has to decide whether you need intravenous antibiotics. Meanwhile, kindly drink plenty of water and Cranberry juice is expected to help in UTI as well. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
