[CARPA] CAMRSA

[djsdb8 at bigpond.net.au]

When I worked at Bourke last year, and at Brwewarrina this and last year there has been, and is an endemic problem with community acquired MRSA in the kids spreading to susceptible adults (diabetics and alcoholics). Dishing out Clindamycin and Contrimaxazole eradicates the infection in individuals but they're back within a few weeks to a few months with reinfection.Those with imetigo also get a macrolide. 
This is ultimately going to select a CAMRSA resistant also to Clindamycin and sulphonamides.
Has anyone in CARPA tried to tackle this problem as a public health issue. What did you do? did it work?
