Ask the doctor about vancomycin, gentamycin, oxyamycin, or erythromycin. If he's been using the same antibiotic for a while, his particular strain may have become resistant.

MRSA is methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. His resistance to his current antibiotic doesn't necessarily mean it is resistant to all penicillinase antibiotics, which would be MRSA. Unless he's been diagnosed with this type of S. aureus, these antibiotics I mentioned earlier should work. Although, vancomycin is also used for MRSA.
