Abstract excerpt
Single-step selection of Mycobacterium abscessus mutants resistant to linezolid yielded high-level resistance at a low frequency that was associated with mutations in 23S rRNA or the ribosomal protein L3. Surprisingly, linezolid-resistant rRNA mutations conferred cross-resistance to several unrelated antibiotics. Low-level linezolid-resistant mutants were isolated at a higher frequency and were due to...
