Structural Basis for Linezolid Binding Site Rearrangement in the <italic toggle="yes">Staphylococcus aureus</italic> Ribosome

ABSTRACT An unorthodox, surprising mechanism of resistance to the antibiotic linezolid was revealed by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) in the 70S ribosomes from a clinical isolate of Staphylococcus aureus. This high-resolution structural information demonstrated that a single amino acid deletion...
