oxazolidinones
Experimental TherapeuticsOxazolidinones Can Replace Clarithromycin in Combination with Rifampin in a Mouse Model of Buruli UlcerRifampin (RIF) plus clarithromycin (CLR) for 8 weeks is now the standard of care for Buruli ulcer (BU) treatment, but CLR may not be an ideal companion for rifamycins due to bidirectional drug-drug interactions. The oxazolidinone linezolid (LZD) was previously shown to be active against Mycobacterium ulcerans infection in mice but has dose- and duration-dependent...

PharmacologyUse of Translational Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Infection Models To Understand the Impact of Neutropenia on the Efficacy of Tedizolid PhosphateTedizolid phosphate, the prodrug of the active antibiotic tedizolid, is an oxazolidinone for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections. Studies in a mouse thigh infection model demonstrated that tedizolid has improved potency and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) compared with those of linezolid.
Mechanisms of ResistanceEmergence and Within-Host Genetic Evolution of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Resistant to Linezolid in a Cystic Fibrosis PatientMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection has increased in recent years among cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Linezolid (LZD) is one of the antistaphylococcal antibiotics widely used in this context.
