  1. Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Linezolid is effective in treating skin and soft tissue infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including cellulitis, infected wounds, and abscesses.

  2. Pneumonia: It is used to treat community-acquired pneumonia and nosocomial pneumonia (hospital-acquired pneumonia) caused by susceptible organisms.

  3. Complicated Skin and Soft Tissue Infections (cSSTIs): Linezolid is indicated for complicated skin and soft tissue infections, such as diabetic foot infections, post-surgical wound infections, and infected ulcers.

  4. Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) Infections: Linezolid is active against vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium infections, including complicated skin and soft tissue infections and bacteremia.

  5. Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Infections: It is effective against infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, including skin and soft tissue infections, pneumonia, and bloodstream infections.

  6. Intra-abdominal Infections: Linezolid may be used in the treatment of intra-abdominal infections caused by susceptible organisms.

  7. Central Nervous System Infections: In some cases, linezolid is used to treat central nervous system infections, such as meningitis, caused by susceptible bacteria.

  8. Adverse Effects: Common side effects associated with linezolid include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and dizziness. Long-term use may be associated with reversible myelosuppression (reduced bone marrow function), including thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), anemia, and leukopenia (low white blood cell count). Rare but serious adverse effects include serotonin syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, and lactic acidosis.

  9. Interaction with Serotonergic Drugs: Linezolid has the potential to interact with serotonergic medications, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and certain opioids, leading to serotonin syndrome.

  10. Resistance: Resistance to linezolid is a concern, although it remains relatively low compared to other antibiotics. Monitoring for resistance and prudent antibiotic use are essential to prevent the development of resistant bacterial strains.

Impacted of linezolid (antibiotic) On Probiotics

Bacteria Impacted by linezolid (antibiotic)

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.

Impact of linezolid (antibiotic) on Conditions from US National Library of Medicine

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.

We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive   X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.

Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
