Linezolid is a synthetic oxazolidinone antimicrobial drug indicated for gram-positive infections and approved for the treatment of bacterial pneumonia, skin and skin structure infections, and vancomycin-resistant enterococcal (VRE) infections, including infections complicated by bacteremia. Linezolid does not have approval for the treatment of gram-negative infections, catheter-related bloodstream infections, or catheter site infections. The primary mechanism of linezolid is an alternative to vancomycin in inpatient settings. This activity covers linezolid so that interprofessional team members can recognize its indications, coverage, contraindications, and adverse event profile to optimally manage patients with infectious diseases and exercise appropriate antimicrobial stewardship. Empowering healthcare professionals with enhanced proficiency is pivotal in advancing patient care standards, particularly in the dynamic landscape of bacterial infection management, where pathogens like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) present formidable challenges. Participating clinicians are equipped with the skills to effectively integrate linezolid into clinical practice, ensuring optimal treatment outcomes when treating bacterial infections.
