Evil Has a Name...
Coagulase negative staphylococcus. (Da da dum!)
The hospital cultured some of the fluid Dr L swabbed from inside the pocket of my right breast (that just sounds weird) and found staph growing in the petri dish. This isn't a surprise, since staph is the most common bacteria found on the outside of our skin. The infection seems to be retreating nicely in the face of the antibiotics that I am taking, so, we aren't very worried. Just good to know for sure. So no-one panic, please, that it is a crazy MRSA flesh eater. Mine appears to be susceptible to at least two classes of antibiotics.
