Objectives Staphylococcus epidermidis is a harmless commensal, but it can become a
human pathogen, mainly in the hospital environment. In order to clarify strategies used by …

The mechanisms contributing to persistence of coagulase-negative staphylococci are
diverse; to better understanding of their dynamics, the characterization of nosocomial …

This study aimed at determining the mechanisms of linezolid resistance and the molecular
characteristics of clinical Staphylococcus aureus (n= 2) and coagulase-negative …

Resistance to linezolid is emerging among Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates. During the
4 years following an outbreak of cfr-mediated linezolid-resistant S. aureus in our intensive …

Linezolid resistance, mediated by the cfr gene, which confers resistant phenotypes to
phenicols, lincosamides, oxazolidinones, pleuromutilins, and streptogramin A …

Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) may be considered contaminants when isolated
from clinical specimens but may also be a cause of true infection. This study aimed to …

To the Editor: Linezolid is a therapeutic option for skin and soft tissue infections and
pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant grampositive bacteria (eg, Staphylococcus spp.) …

In this work, the molecular and phenotypic antimicrobial resistance and clonal diversity of 10
linezolid-resistant Staphylococcus spp. isolates were investigated. The 7 Staphylococcus …

Objectives Dependence on linezolid was recently described as significant growth
acceleration of linezolid-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (LRSE) isolates upon …

The aim of this article were to determinate the mechanism of linezolid resistance in
coagulase‐negative methicillin‐resistant staphylococci from hospitals in the northeast of …
