Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To test the mutant selection window (MSW) hypothesis applied to linezolid-exposed Staphylococcus aureus and to delineate the concentration-resistance relationship, a mixed inoculum of linezolid-susceptible S. aureus cells and linezolid-resistant mutants (RMs) was exposed to linezolid multiple dosing. METHODS: Three S. aureus strains (MIC of linezolid 2 mg/L), S. aureus 479, S. aureus 688 and S. aureus...
