Drugs used in the treatment of MRSA are :

Staphylococcal infections are usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus. However, the incidence of infections due to Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative staphylococci has also been steadily rising. Pharmacotherapy Patients with serious staphylococcal infections should be initially staed on agents active against MRSA until susceptibility results are available. Many coagulase-negative staphylococci are oxacillin-resistant. The duration of treatment and the use of synergistic combinations depend on the type of infection encountered. The following antibiotics may be used in the management of staphylococcal infections (listed alphabetically, not necessarily in order of preference): Cefazolin Ceftaroline Cefuroxime Clindamycin Dalbavancin Daptomycin Dicloxacillin Doxycycline Linezolid Minocycline Nafcillin Oritavancin Quinupristin/dalfopristin Tedizolid Telavancin Tigecycline Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole Vancomycin REFERENCE: www.medscape.com
