The first linezolid-resistant Enterococcus faecium in India: High level resistance in a patient with no previous antibiotic exposure

Linezolid provides high rates of the clinical cure and microbiological success in complicated infections due to Enterococcus spp., including vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. However, the emergence of resistance during linezolid treatment has been reported for clinical strains of Enterococc...
