Abstract excerpt
Linezolid is an oxazolidinone antibiotic that inhibits the initiation of translation. Although resistance to linezolid is an uncommon event, it has been reported in clinical isolates. The genome sequence of Streptococcus pneumoniae linezolid-resistant mutants recently revealed mutations associated with resistance. A proteomic and transcriptomic screen now reveals a possible increase in the metabolism and...
