Always follow specific instructions from a healthcare provider regarding medication administration.
How does Linezolid work?
Linezolid works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the bacterial 23S ribosomal RNA of the 50S subunit, preventing the formation of the initiation complex and inhibiting the formation of a functional 70S initiation complex, thus blocking bacterial protein synthesis. This mechanism of action makes linezolid effective against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria.
