Background
To confirm the need for dosage adjustment based on linezolid plasma levels.
To confirm the need for dosage adjustment based on linezolid plasma levels.
Patients
› All PK data were modelled with a one-compartment PK model with a first-order absorption
process
› The structural parameters used were the volume of distribution (V; in L) and drug clearance
(CL; in L/h)
› The first-order absorption rate constant (ka) for oral administration was fixed at 0.583 h−1
› Age, body weight, serum creatinine, CLCr estimated using the Cockcroft–Gault formula
› The significance levels for forward inclusion and backward elimination were set at P < 0.05
and P < 0.01, respectively.

4. Determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration
The MICs of linezolid for a total of 444 MRSA strains from hospitalized patients were
determined by the broth microdilution method as described by the Clinical and
Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI).
