Hello Thank you for trusting Chat Doctor Dear what is the culture report suggestive?? Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia take more time to come under control, usually community acquired Staphylococcus infection may present with methicillin resistance(MRSA), for this patient cases need to treated with vancomycin, and ninefold. Some patients also developed vancomycin resistant staph aureus (VERSA) infection, this infection very problematic to control. Very few Chat Doctor.  Please follow your doctor orders they will treat you in right way. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask.
