As to what is best used for it, well that is entirely up to your doctor, who will base it on the type of staph infection you have contracted.

SMZ/TMP DS is Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim, this is a generic version of Bactrim and several others, it is a combination med, consisting of these two different antibiotics, which are used to treat various types of infections, including respiratory, urinary tract, staph, and etc.
