Diagnosed With Staphylococcus Aureus. Sulfamethoxazole Not Working. Which Medication Should I Try For Permanent Cure?

I was diagnosed recently with staphylococcus aureus after four years of misdiagnosis. I was told I had asthma and brochitis and pneumonia and everything else in between. I had surgery four years ago and when I came out of the hospital I was sick and have not received and medication that can cure it. I was given some medicine for a fungal and it helped but then the symptoms returned. I was recently given sulfamethoxazole-tmp and it didnt work. I just wanted to know what medicine is the medicine that I should be taking to help me get over this? any info would be greatly appreciated.
