Linezolid is a synthetic antibiotic belonging to the oxazolidinone class, effective against Gram-positive aerobic bacteria, some Gram-positive anaerobic bacteria, and certain Gram-negative bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis through a unique mechanism: it binds to the 23S ribosomal RNA of the 50S bacterial ribosomal subunit, blocking the formation of the 70S initiation complex necessary for bacterial protein production.
Bacteriostatic effect: against enterococci and staphylococci.
Bactericidal effect: against most streptococci strains.
