Abstract
ABSTRACT
Following recent reports of ribosomal protein L3 mutations in laboratory-derived linezolid-resistant (LZD
r
)
Staphylococcus aureus
, we investigated whether similar mutations were present in LZD
r
staphylococci of clinical origin. Sequence analysis of a variety of LZD
r
isolates revealed two L3 mutations, ΔSer145 (
S. aureus
NRS127) and Ala157Arg (
Staphylococcus epidermidis
1653059), both occurring proximal to the oxazolidinone binding site in the peptidyl transferase center. The oxazolidinone torezolid maintained a ≥8-fold potency advantage over linezolid for both strains.
