Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus is a common isolate in the patients with<unk><unk>  pneumonia. The treatment options commonly used are vancomycin, linezolid, and clindamycin. Linezolid may be preferred in patients with renal insufficiency as the nephrotoxicity with Linezolid is less compared to vancomycin. Additionally, in patients with vancomycin MIC
≥ 2mcg/mL linezolid is preferred. Linezolid resistance and failure are rare.
