Drug-Resistant Staph and HIV - Part 2

At the 2008 joint meeting of the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) and the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA), Tim Horn speaks with Nancy Crum-Cianflone, MD, MPH, a researcher and physician at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, about methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a potentially serious drug-resistant bacterial infection that is becoming increasingly more common among people living with HIV.  In part two of this two-part interview, Dr. Crum-Cianflone discusses treatments for MRSA and some of the treatment challenges in HIV-positive people, as well as ways to prevent the infection.
