DOI: 10.1016/j.ajoc.2020.100974
Abstract: Purpose Linezolid is a synthetic antibiotic, the first of the oxazolidinone class, used for the treatment of infections caused by multi-resistant bacteria including Streptococcus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). We report on… read more here.
