RESUMO

We evaluated 117 isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis for susceptibility to linezolid by the proportion and E-test methods. Linezolid showed high in vitro activity, with all the strains inhibited by ≤1 μg of the drug per ml. E-test MICs were at least 4 dilutions lower than their equivalents by the standard proportion method.
