Mutational resistance to linezolid and other anti-gram-positive antibiotics in staphylococci

2007-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) are endemic in UK hospitals. Treatment options for the infections caused by these multiresistant strains include vancomycin, teicoplanin and linezolid. Mutational resistance to these antibiotics, although rare in the clinic, has been detected. Resistance to linezolid requires at least one chromosomal mutation followed by subsequent internal recombination. T...
