Emerging Therapies for Serious Gram-Positive Bacterial Infections: A Focus on Linezolid [PDF]
Respiratory tract infections and skin and soft-tissue infections frequently are caused by gram-positive cocci, and treating these infections with standard antibiotics has recently become problematic. Many of the primary pathogens causing these infections are now resistant to current standard treatment regimens.

How innate immunity proteins kill bacteria and why they are not prone to resistance [PDF]
Recent advances on antibacterial activity of peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) offer some insight into how innate immunity has retained its antimicrobial effectiveness for millions of years with no frequent emergence of resistant strains. First,
