Residents of Boone County, Kentucky received good news today when they learned that the eight reported staph infections at Larry A. Ryle High School in Union are not antibiotic-resistant strains. It had been previously feared that the eight students had contracted methicillin-resistant staph infections (MRSA), but laboratory cultures revealed the infections were caused by an antibiotic-susceptible strain of staph.
The students are under the care of physicians, and are being treated with antibiotics. The principal communicated to parents that steps were being taken to clean and sanitize the school building beyond usual sanitation procedures.
