Several upstate schools report drug-resistant staph cases

More reports are coming in from schools around upstate New York and the rest of the country about cases of antibiotic-resistant staph infections.

That's been prompting schools to scrub down facilities, particularly locker rooms, gyms and sports equipment.

Among school districts that have reported cases are Corning-Painted Post in the Southern Tier, Fairport in western New York, Central Square and North Syracuse in central New York, and Guilderland and Watervliet in the greater Albany area.
