Diversity in Adaptive Evolution of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Clinical Isolates Under Exposure to Continuous Linezolid Stress in vitro by Han T, Jia T, Wang J

“…Polymerase chain reaction assays and sequencing techniques were performed to detect well-known molecular determinants related to linezolid resistance, including the expression of optrA and cfr, mutations of 23S rRNA gene and ribosomal protein (L3, L4, L22) encoding genes (rplC, rplD, rplV).Results: After induction with sequentially increasing concentrations of linezolid, all four MRSA strains (L914, L860, L1096, and L2875) evolved into linezolid-resistant strains over various induction times (480, 384, 288, and 240 h) and universally formed small colony variants. A new mutation in the domain V region of 23S rRNA gene (C2404T) and one mutation in amino acid sequences of ribosomal protein (Met208Thr) were firstly identified among linezolid-resistant strains. …”
