We report an infection with a linezolid-resistant S. aureus in a patient with a left ventricular assist system. Linezolid should be used with caution when invasive devices or foreign materials are in place or therapeutic courses last longer than 14 d. Previous cases of linezolid-resistant S. aureus are summarized.

The rising prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-positive bacteria threatens the effectiveness of current antibiotic therapies. However, the development of new antibiotics has stagnated in recent years, highlighted the critical need for the discovery of innovative antimicrobial agents. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of naphthoquinones derived from Arnebia euchroma (Royle) Johnst (ADNs) and elucidate their underlying mechanisms.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the cumulative fraction of response of various dosage regimens of tedizolid phosphate against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae in children, adolescents, and adults.
Methods: Monte Carlo simulations were performed using previously published pharmacokinetic parameters and pharmacodynamic data to evaluate the efficacy of the simulated dosage strategies in terms of area under the concentration-time curve/minimum inhibitory concentration targets of tedizolid.
Results: According to the results of the Monte Carlo simulations, currently approved dosage regimens of tedizolid phosphate were effective in the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs) caused by methicillin-susceptible S.

Article Synopsis
- - A series of benzo[1,3]oxazinyloxazolidinones were developed as strong antibacterial agents, effective against various drug-resistant pathogens like Mtb, MRSA, and VRE.
- - One identified compound shows potential in inhibiting protein synthesis and has lower resistance development in MRSA compared to linezolid, with better pharmacokinetic properties.
- - The compound also improved cytokine levels and reduced organ damage in infected mice, while effectively disrupting MRSA biofilms, indicating its promise for treating serious drug-resistant infections.
Unmasking a looming crisis: Escalating MIC of last resort drugs against MRSA isolates from a tertiary care hospital in Central India.

Department of Microbiology, Government Medical College and Hospital, 440003, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. Electronic address:
Purpose: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has classified methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA) as a serious public health threat. The escalating minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of standard anti-methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA) drugs within the susceptible range, known as "MIC creep," jeopardizes their effectiveness against MRSA infections, posing additional challenges in managing MRSA infections. This cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Central India to assess the susceptibility trends of clinical MRSA isolates against commonly used anti-MRSA drugs and to observe MIC creep, if any, over three years (2020-2022).
