Linezolid

A synthetic oxazolidinone antibiotic used to treat serious infections caused by susceptible Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE). Linezolid binds to the 23S ribosomal RNA of the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit, preventing formation of the functional 70S translation initiation complex and thereby inhibiting protein synthesis. It is used for pneumonia, complicated skin and soft tissue infections, and certain resistant enterococcal infections
