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.
