Do you routinely transition to PO antibiotics for patients with native joint septic arthritis whom have undergone washout and the organism is not S. aureus?

Yes. Even if the organism is Staph aureus, I would feel comfortable with an appropriate, highly bioavailable oral antibiotics after appropriate source control (linezolid in the case of Staph aureus).
