Hello.

I asume that Staphylococcus aureus was diagnosed in urine or mouth swab. If she is not having clinical symptomes, then she shold not haste to take antibiotics.

Presance of S. aureus will not compromise the groth of child inside of uterus, and eradication is possiable just before delivery according to antibiogram. Speak about this with gynekologist.

All the best.
