Abstract excerpt
To explore if the time inside the mutant selection window (TMSW) is a reliable predictor of emergence of bacterial resistance to linezolid, mixed inocula of each of three methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains (MIC of linezolid 2 μg ml-1) and their previously selected resistant mutants (MIC 8 μg ml-1) were exposed to linezolid pharmacokinetics using an in vitro dynamic model. In five-day treatments...
