Linezolid is a good Choice.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for choosing HCM.

Staphylococcus Aureus is a bacteria and responds to many antibiotics usually. Common among them are Cefpodoxime , Levofloxacin and Linezolid. Among these I use Linezolid for my patients.

But the right way to treat is to do a Culture sensitivity test which shows to which Antibiotic the bacteria is most sensitive and accordingly that Antibiotic has to be used.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.
