  • Title: Successful treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis with linezolid.
    Author: Bassetti M, Di Biagio A, Del Bono V, Cenderello G, Bassetti D.
    Journal: Int J Antimicrob Agents; 2004 Jul; 24(1):83-4. PubMed ID: 15225867.
    Abstract:
    We report the successful treatment with linezolid of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) endocarditis in a patient with a severe allergic reaction to glycopeptides. Linezolid is a drug with well-recognised activity against S. aureus and proved to be efficacious even in the unusual site of heart valves. This drug could be a good therapeutic choice when glycopeptides treatment is not feasible.
