Mechanisms of linezolid resistance among coagulase-negative staphylococci determined by whole-genome sequencing. [PDF]
, 2014 UnlabelledLinezolid resistance is uncommon among staphylococci, but approximately 2% of clinical isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) may exhibit resistance to linezolid (MIC, ≥8 µg/ml).

Incidence and risk factors of linezolid-induced lactic acidosis
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015 Background: The use of linezolid has increased with the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Serum lactic acidosis has been reported as a serious side effect of linezolid use, therefore we evaluated the incidence and characteristics of linezolid ...
