Antibiotics are not always considered to be necessary when treating MRSA. If the infection is only causing abscesses, for example, then the abscesses will usually be drained and allowed to heal. If the infection has infected more of the body, however, then drugs will likely be required or the infection can be fatal.

Most antibiotics will not be able to treat MRSA, but there are some antibiotics that will still be effective. These are used carefully to help prevent the bacteria evolving to be resistant to them also. New antibiotics are in development to help ensure MRSA can be treated.
