Acquisition of a natural resistance gene renders a clinical strain of methicillin‐resistant<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>resistant to the synthetic antibiotic linezolid

14 May 2007

Abstract excerpt

Linezolid, which targets the ribosome, is a new synthetic antibiotic that is used for treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive pathogens. Clinical resistance to linezolid, so far, has been developing only slowly and has involved exclusively target site mutations. We have discovered that linezolid resistance in a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus hospital strain from Colombia is determined by the...
