Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. MRSA is an overrated disease causing unnecessary panic in public. It is a resistant staph aureus infection called Methicillin ( a type of penicillin drug) resistant Staph Aureus but it does not mean it is resistant to all the antibiotics.There is a long list of antibiotics which it may be sensitive to, culture and sensitivity of the pus or blood sorts it out. Its treatable, but it needs aggressive care with combination antibiotics one MRSA is still sensitive to. Isolation of the wound to make sure the infection does not spread to others as skin to skin infection is very common. All you need is antibiotics plus wound care and drainage of pus if any for the cure.
Meanwhile maintain a good hygiene. Wash your hands frequently. Scrub hands briskly for at least 15 seconds, then dry them with a disposable towel and use another towel to turn off the faucet. Carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer containing at least 62 percent alcohol for times when you don't have access to soap and water.Avoid sharing personal items such as towels, sheets, razors, clothing and athletic equipment. MRSA spreads on contaminated objects as well as through direct contact. Shower frequently.
Nutshell, its an infection like any other and gets treated easily with slight hygiene care and combination antibiotic. I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back to me
The answer to that depends on the possibilities of culture and sensitivity results which will show which antibiotics the bug is sensitive to.
usually vancomycin, linezolid, nafcillin, oritavancin , daptomycin, Trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole, tigecycline and fusidic acid are some of the antibiotics MRSA is sensitive to and can be tried.
I hope it helps.
