Abstract
ABSTRACT
MICs of linezolid in broth microdilutions were tested against 341 slowly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) belonging to 15 species. The proposed linezolid susceptibility MICs for all
Mycobacterium marinum
,
Mycobacterium szulgai
,
Mycobacterium kansasii
,
Mycobacterium malmoense
, and
Mycobacterium xenopi
isolates and for 90% of
Mycobacterium gordonae
and
Mycobacterium triplex
isolates were ≤8 μg/ml. Linezolid has excellent therapeutic potential against most species of NTM.
