Abstract excerpt
Contezolid (MRX-I), a safer antibiotic of the oxazolidinone class, is a promising new antibiotic with potent activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) both in vitro and in vivo. To identify resistance mechanisms of contezolid in MTB, we isolated several in vitro spontaneous contezolid-resistant MTB mutants, which exhibited 16-fold increases in the MIC of contezolid compared with the parent strain but were...
