Risk Factors Associated with the Development of Infection with Linezolid‐ and Vancomycin‐Resistant<i>Enterococcus faecium</i>

Abstract

This retrospective cohort study revealed that linezolid resistance in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was dependent on prior linezolid exposure and duration of linezolid therapy. These strains of E. faecium were resistant to the entire class of oxazolidinones.
