Many: Mrsa is susceptible to vancomycin, Linezolid , septra/bactrim, doxycycline/tetracyclines, clindamycin, daptomycin and synercid (quinpristin and dalfopristin). Septra/bactrim, doxycycline/tetracyclines Clindamycin and Linezolid can be taken orally. Mrsa would be resistant to other antibiotics in current use.
