Abstract
Tedizolid is a novel oxazolidinone with activities against Gram-positive microorganisms, including mycobacteria. We studied the in vitro activity of tedizolid against 120 Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, including susceptible, first-line-resistant, and multidrug-resistant isolates. MIC was tested using the Bactec 960 MGIT system. MIC90 and MIC50 were 0.5 and 0.25 μg/ml, respectively, in susceptible and resistant strains. Tedizolid may be an alternative in the treatment of resistant M. tuberculosis.Entities:
