Description
An oxazolidinone antibiotic that is active against multidrug resistant tuberculosis; inhibits the growth of M. tuberculosis replicating and nonreplicating strains (MIC = ~400 ng/ml for both) and of clinical isolates that are susceptible or resistant to a combination of isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, and streptomycin (MICs = ≤0.0625-0.5 mg/L); inhibits the growth of P. insidiosum and P. aphanidermatum clinical isolates (MICs = 4-64 μg/ml); decreases the number of CFUs in the lung in a mouse model of systemic nonreplicating M. tuberculosis infection at 100 mg/kg per day
