Abstract

Antibiotic resistance poses a critical problem to human health and decreases the utility of these lifesaving drugs. Of particular concern is the “superbug” methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), for which treatment of infection requires the use of last-line antibiotics, including linezolid.
