Abstract

RWJ-416457, a novel oxazolidinone, had modal MICs of 0.5 to 1 μg/ml for linezolid-susceptible staphylococci and enterococci, versus linezolid MICs for these organisms of 1 or 2 μg/ml. RWJ-416457 MICs for mutants with 23S rRNA mutations were 2 to 32 μg/ml, versus linezolid MICs of 8 to 64 μg/ml; actual values reflected the proportion of gene copies mutated.
