Abstract:

China is one of the high burden countries of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is the most severe form of drug-resistant tuberculosis, characterized by poor treatment outcome and high mortality. New drug combinations for XDR-TB is a field of active research. Linezolid is a drug of anoxazolidinones with potent activity against MTB. This paper reviewed the current knowledge on linezolid for the treatment of XDR-TB, focusing on the epidemiology of drug-resistant TB, the antibiotic resistance mechanisms of M. tuberculosis, the antibiotic mechanism of linezolid and the efficacy and toxicity of linezolid in treatment of XDR-TB.

Key words: Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis, Linezolid, Mechanism, Chemotherapy
