Hi
Thanks for the query.
Vancomycin, linezolide, rifampin are the drugs which can be used for MRSA. However it's better to do culture and sensitivity test of nasal secretions to select sensitive antibiotic. Already there is resistance to most of antibacterials. So better to go ahead systematically in your case.
