Abstract excerpt
copies, associated with lower MICs (8 to 32 mg/liter) and low to moderate generation time increases. Despite these differences, whole-genome sequencing allowed us to determine that all isolates, including the susceptible one isolated before LZD treatment, belonged to the same lineage. In conclusion, LZD resistance can emerge rapidly in CF patients and persist without linezolid selective pressure in colonizing...
