1696. Comparison of in vitro activities of linezolid and contezolid against clinical Nocardia isolates

open access: yesOpen Forum Infectious Diseases, 2022
Abstract Background Nocardia is nearly 100% susceptible to linezolid which is one of the first-line agents for all clinical species and isolates reported in the literature. However, adverse reactions related to myelosuppression and monoamine oxidase inhibition have limited linezolid use to some extent.

Prospects of contezolid (MRX-I) against multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis

open access: yesDrug Discoveries & Therapeutics, 2022
Tuberculosis has become a great global public health threat. Compared with drug-susceptible tuberculosis (TB), the treatment regimens for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) involve more severe adverse events and poorer treatment outcomes. Linezolid (LZD) is the first oxazolidinones used for TB.

Clinical outcomes of contezolid in treating complex tuberculosis: real-world evidence from 11 patients. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Thorac Dis
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge, especially among patients with drug intolerance or comorbidities that limit treatment options. Although linezolid (Lzd), an oxazolidinone antibiotic, has demonstrated good efficacy against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), its long-term use is frequently associated with serious ...
