    Author: Rodríguez-Aranda A, Daskalaki M, Villar J, Sanz F, Otero JR, Chaves F.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2009 Apr; 63(4):398-402. PubMed ID: 19232856.
    Abstract:
    This report documents the nosocomial spread for an 18-month period of a single clone of linezolid- and teicoplanin-resistant Staphylococcus haemolyticus associated primarily with catheter-related bacteremia in intensive care unit patients. All linezolid-resistant isolates had the same G2576T mutation in at least 1 copy of the 23S rRNA gene.
