Surveillance of tedizolid activity and resistance: In vitro susceptibility of Gram-positive pathogens collected over 5 years from the United States and Europe
Gram-positive clinical isolates (n = 11,231) from 2009 to 2013 were studied. Tedizolid inhibited 99.7% of all isolates at MIC ≤0.5 mg/L. Tedizolid activity was high in S. aureus irrespective of methicillin resistance. Tedizolid was equally potent regardless of vancomycin resistance in enterococci. Tedizolid was ≥4-fold more potent than linezolid against all groups.
