Resumo

mutations, multilocus sequence typing, Greece,staphylococciSir,The growing number of infections caused by multidrug-resistantStaphylococcus epidermidis has necessitated the use of newantimicrobials, such as linezolid, and enhanced the emergenceof linezolid-resistant S. epidermidis strains. To date, mutations ofregion V of 23S rRNA (G2447T, T2504A, C2534T, G2576T,G2603T and G2631T) have been associated with the expressionof linezolid resistance among clinical staphylococcal isolates.
