First linezolid-resistant clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Linezolid resistance was found in 4 (1.9%) of 210 multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. The MICs of linezolid were 4 microg/ml (one strain) and 8 microg/ml (three strains). Since no mutations were detected in potential target genes, the mechanism of resistance remains unclear.
متن کاملSusceptibility of clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates to a potentially less toxic derivate of linezolid, PNU-100480.
Susceptibility of clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates to PNU-100480 and linezolid was evaluated by the MGIT 960 system. The isolates had various susceptibilities to isoniazid (INH), rifampin, ethambutol, and streptomycin. The mean MIC for PNU-100480 was 3.2 times lower than that for linezolid. Therefore, PNU-100480 is a promising candidate to be developed further as an adjunct in the t...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of linezolid against clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant strains from Beijing, China.
The in vitro activity of linezolid was evaluated against 84 clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains, isolated from the center for tuberculosis research and treatment of the Chinese army. Linezolid showed excellent activity, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 0.125-0.5 μg/mL against all te...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of linezolid against clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that are susceptible or resistant to first-line antituberculous drugs.
We evaluated 117 isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis for susceptibility to linezolid by the proportion and E-test methods. Linezolid showed high in vitro activity, with all the strains inhibited by <or=1 microg of the drug per ml. E-test MICs were at least 4 dilutions lower than their equivalents by the standard proportion method.
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates to garenoxacin and DA-7867.
The in vitro activities of DA-7867, a novel oxazolidinone, and garenoxacin (BMS-284756) were compared to those of linezolid in 67 susceptible and drug-resistant clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. DA-7867 was the most active drug with an MIC(90) of 0.125 microg/ml, compared to the MIC(90)s of 4 microg/ml of garenoxacin and 2 microg/ml of linezolid.
