I have staph in my sinuses that has had the same sensitivity profile
to antibiotics since 2001.

According to it's MICs it should have been wiped out LONG ago as the
antibiotics that I have been given wipe out the lab culture.
The worst part of it, since i got rid of enough of it to be able to
breath at night, has been the extreame heartburn that it causes if I
don't treat it with prilosec or pepsid.
Staph is sufficient by itself to persist once it establishes a
biofilm, and it is NEVER there alone. Chronic sinusitis is a disease
caused by bacteria that get a foothold any time that you have had the
flu and have accumulated in your air filter over a life time.
It was also suggested that I might be immune deficient, but my immune
system is just dandy. It only needs a spot where a virus has killed
the cilia to move on in.
Staph also produces an enzyme that allows it to spread the walls of
blood cells to make them weep blood and coagulese that converts
fibernectin to fibrin so ti can make it's biofilm, that clear
insoluible springy mucus, at practically no metabolic cost and it
destroys trans membrane conductance factor, so it upsets the osmotic
balance of epitihieal cells in a way that leads to less fluid to wash
away the mucus.
tea and Mupricin,and canada balsam washes are somewhat effective in
reducing it's footprint.
Also the Soviet government has  refined and used Lysic phages
(viruses) that kill staph for the last 50 years if you can get over
there. There was one lady that went over because she had had multiple
surgeries and was told that she had stomach cancer  and only 6 months
to live, she also had arthritis, DM, and a whole list of other
symptoms . When here sinus infection was treated, all her other
symptoms cleared up too.  I called her and she said that she had had
to go over twice to Georgia twice, but was now disease free.   Her
treatment cost 15,000 which included airfare, 2-3 week stays  in
Tbilize, and her treatments. The hospital is evidently falling down
around their ears, but the people and the technologies are still
there.

The knock on phage therapy is that the proper doubleblind placebo
controlled trials have not been done. The soviets gave it to people on
one side of the street, and everyone on both sides of the street got
well.
Recently experiments in this country have used phages adhered to
plastic beads so they can't get away and cure people that have not
paid for it, so we might see them in this country before too long.

I am still having the same problems...however I now have psuedonoma some kind
of infection?
any thoughts?
