Linezolid Dependence in Staphylococcus epidermidis Bloodstream Isolates

Linezolid Dependence in Staphylococcus epidermidis Bloodstream Isolates

We document linezolid dependence among 5 highly linezolid-resistant (LRSE) Staphylococcus epidermidis bloodstream isolates that grew substantially faster at 32 µg/mL linezolid presence. These isolates carried the mutations T2504A and C2534T in multiple 23S rRNA copies and 2 mutations leading to rele...
