چکیده
27 Linezolid has emerged as an important therapeutic option for the treatment of 28 Staphylococcus aureus in patients with cystic fibrosis. We report the rapid emergence, 29 upon treatment with linezolid, of linezolid-resistant S. aureus clinical isolates through the 30 accumulation of 23S rRNA resistance-associated mutations, together with acquisition of 31 an altered mutator phenotype. 32 33 on O cber 2, 2017 by gest httpaac.asm .rg/ D ow nladed fom

Linezolid-resistant ST36 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus associated with prolonged linezolid treatment in two paediatric cystic fibrosis patients.
OBJECTIVES To describe the emergence of linezolid-resistant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) of sequence type (ST)36 lineage in two paediatric patients with cystic fibrosis, after long-term low-dose linezolid treatment. METHODS Two paediatric males with cystic fibrosis had sputum samples quantitatively cultured during hospitalization. After the isolation of MRSA from both pa...
متن کاملAntibiotic Susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus Spp. Isolated from some Hospitals in Tehran
Abstract Background and Objective: Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are the leading nosocomial pathogens in Iran. We aimed at evaluating the resistance patterns of Staphylococcus aureus and enterococci to the antibiotics recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Material and Methods: Two-hu...
متن کاملActivity of linezolid in an in vitro pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model using different dosages and Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis strains with and without a hypermutator phenotype.
The influence of antibiotic dosages and bacterial mutator phenotypes on the emergence of linezolid-resistant mutants was evaluated in an in vitro pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model. A twice-daily 0.5-h infusion of a 200-, 600-, or 800-mg dose for 48 h was simulated against four strains (MIC, 2 microg/ml): Staphylococcus aureus RN4220 and its mutator derivative MutS2, Enterococcus faecalis AT...
متن کاملSusceptibility To Vancomycin In Staphylococcus Aureus Isolated From Patients Of Four University-Affiliated Hospitals In Tehran
Background and Objective: Vancomycin is frequently the antibiotic of choice for the treatment of infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). For the last years, the incidence of vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) and vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA) has been increased in various parts of the world. The present study ...
متن کاملEmergence of linezolid-resistant mutants in a susceptible-cell population of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with a MIC of linezolid of 4 μg/ml, isolated from a patient who had undergone unsuccessful linezolid therapy, yielded linezolid-resistant mutants in blood agar at 48 h of incubation. The resistant clones showed a MIC of linezolid ranging from 8 to 64 μg/ml and accumulated the T2500A mutation(s) of the rRNA genes. Emergence of these resistant clones ap...
