Tests linezolid against Nocardia species, indicating its effectiveness across all strains.
Linezolid was tested by broth microdilution against 140 clinical Nocardia isolates belonging to seven species. The MIC at which 50% of the strains are inhibited (MIC50) and MIC90 for all species other than Nocardia farcinica were 2 and 4 microg/ml. Linezolid is the first antimicrobial agent demonstrated to be active against all Nocardia species.
