New research shows alternative antibiotics outperform flucloxacillin for golden staph infections

New research has found that the commonly used antibiotic flucloxacillin has a lower survival rate for golden staph infections. In a world-first trial, alternative antibiotics cefazolin and benzylpenicillin showed better outcomes for patients. With golden staph responsible for over 1,000 deaths annually in Australia, these findings could significantly impact treatment protocols.
