These are some cure (treatment) for staff. not all will be listed here, but I assure you of the most common in our environment and how to treat them.
ANTIBIOTICS
Antibiotics is the general class of medications, including penicillin, that are used against bacteria and also some parasites. Antibiotics do not work against any viruses. The first ever discovered antibiotic was penicillin. Class of drugs used against many bacteria (and some parasites).
SOME TYPES OF ANTIBIOTICS
PENICILLIN
DESCRIPTIONS OF PENICILLIN
Penicillin: any of various antibiotics obtained from penicillium molds (or produced synthetically) and used in the treatment of various infections and diseases
Source: WordNet 2.1
Penicillin: A group of antibiotics that contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid with a side chain attached to the 6-amino group. The penicillin nucleus is the chief structural requirement for biological activity. The side-chain structure determines many of the antibacterial and pharmacological characteristics.
Source: (Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p1065)
Penicillin : group of natural or semisynthetic antibacterial antibiotics that contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid with a side chain attached to the 6-amino group; they exert a bacteriocidal as well as bacteriostatic effect on susceptible bacteria by interfering with the final stages of the synthesis of cell wall peptidoglycan.

ERYTHROMYCIN
DESCRIPTIONS OF ERYTHROMYCIN
Erythromycin: an antibiotic (trade name Erythrocin or E-Mycin or Ethril or Ilosone or Pediamycin) obtained from the actinomycete Streptomyces erythreus; effective against many Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative
Source: WordNet 2.1
Erythromycin: A bacteriostatic antibiotic macrolide produced by Streptomyces erythreus. Erythromycin A is considered its major active component. In sensitive organisms, it inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 50S ribosomal subunits. This binding process inhibits peptidyl transferase activity and interferes with translocation of amino acids during translation and assembly of proteins.

DOXYCYCLINE
DESCRIPTIONS OF DOXYCYCLINE
Doxycycline: an antibiotic derived from tetracycline that is effective against many infections; "Vibramycin is the trade name of doxycycline"
Source: WordNet 2.1
Doxycycline: A synthetic TETRACYCLINE derivative with similar antimicrobial activity. Animal studies suggest that it may cause less tooth staining than other tetracyclines. It is used in some areas for the treatment of chloroquine-resistant falciparum malaria (MALARIA, FALCIPARUM).

TETRACYCLINE
DESCRIPTIONS OF TETRACYCLINE
Tetracycline: an antibiotic (trade name Achromycin) derived from microorganisms of the genus Streptomyces and used broadly to treat infections
Source: WordNet 2.1
Tetracycline: Closely congeneric derivatives of the polycyclic naphthacenecarboxamide. (Gilman et al., Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p1117)
Source: Diseases Database
Tetracycline : group of napthacenecarboxamide biosynthetic antibiotics isolated from species of Streptomyces or produced semisynthetically, with a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity.

AMPICILLIN
DESCRIPTIONS OF AMPICILLIN
Ampicillin: semisynthetic penicillin (trade names Principen and Polycillin and SK-Ampicillin)
Source: WordNet 2.1
Ampicillin: A broad-spectrum semisynthetic derivative of aminopenicillin that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin binding proteins and inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis, a critical component of bacterial cell wall. (NCI)
Source: Diseases Database
Ampicillin : semi-synthetic derivative of penicillin that functions as an orally active broad-spectrum antibiotic.

AMOXICILLIN
DESCRIPTIONS OF AMOXICILLIN
Amoxicillin: an antibiotic; a semisynthetic oral penicillin (trade names Amoxil and Larotid and Polymox and Trimox and Augmentin) used to treat bacterial infections
Source: WordNet 2.1
Amoxicillin: A broad-spectrum semisynthetic antibiotic, similar to ampicillin but more resistance to gastric acids, that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin binding proteins and inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis, a critical component of bacterial cell walls. (NCI)

LINCOMYCIN
DESCRIPTION OF LINCOMYCIN
Lincomycin: An antibacterial substance, composed of substituted pyrrolidine and octapyranose moities, produced by Streptomyces lincolnensis; active against gram-positive organisms; used medicinally as lincomycin hydrochloride.

FUSIDIC ACID
DESCRIPTION OF FUSIDIC ACID
Fusidic acid: A fermentation product of Fusidium coccineum, a parasitic fungus on the plant Veronica; inhibits protein synthesis and the accumulation of ppGpp. SYN: ramycin.

HONEY
Honey is well known to have medicinal properties, but contrary to popular belief it is not a healthier alternative to sugar. It has more energy than jam, marmalade and sugar, although it does have allergy, antioxidant, antiseptic, antibacterial and digestive benefits. Honey has been found to assist with conditions such as wound healing, sore throat, dental caries, gingivitis, and gastroenteritis. Manuka honey from New Zealand also has the added bonus of being highly effective against MRSA, or golden staph, a resistant bacteria.

Please note that you have to see your doctor for proper check up so as to know which of these treatment(medicaton) is suitable for you, if u are infected with staff.
