Miscellaneous
Linezolid MOA
- Protein synthesis inhibitor (Binds to V-domain of 23S RNA component of the 50S ribosomal subunit)
- Its bacteriostatic
- Manipulation of A/B are necessary for antibacterial activity
Linezolid Spectrum of Activity Gram +
Broad Gram + activity
Active against Enterococcus species, inc E.faecalis + VRE (considered Txm of choice depending on source)
Active against MSSA/MRSA (good if no DI + can tolerate)
Active against all Streptococcal species
** Used in Polymicrobial inf (intra-abdominal or SSTI) when also need to cover Enterococci or MRSA
Linezolid Spectrum of Activity Gram + Bacillus
Active against Listeria Monocytogenes (Txm of choice is Ampicilin+Gentamicin tho)
Active against Nocardia species (Txm of choice is Bactrim tho)
Linezolid Spectrum of Activity Anaerobes
Broad active against Gram + anaerobes
Active against: Actinomyces, Propionbacterium, peptostreptococci
Some activity: Prevotella, Fusobacterium
Limited activity: B. fragilis (Gram - anaerobes in GI)
Linezolid has no activity in….
Gram - and Atypical
Linezolid Activity in Other organisms
Has activity against Mycobacteria, including M.tuberculosis….txm option for drug resistant TB**
Also active against non-TB Mycobacteria (inc Mycobacterium abscenssus - MDR and MAC, Mycobacterium avid complex)
Linezoid M & E
Bioavailability is ~ 100%, so PO and IV dose is same
High conc into epithelial lining fluid (>100%), bone and joint tissues
Doesn’t req renal adjustment due to majority elim non-renal
** Linezolid Drug Interactions **
- Reversible, non-selective monoamine oxidase inhibitor
- Associated w/ development of Serotonin Syndrome in pts receiving concurrent serotonergic agents
Small inc in BP in pt using Tyramine
** don’t use with Serotonin drugs **
Tedizolid MOA
Protein Synthesis inhibitor
And to V-domain of 23S RNA component of 50S ribosomal unit
Tedizlod Gram + Spectrum of activity
shown to be 2-8 X more potent than Linezoid
active against Enterococcus species, inc E.faecalis + VRE
Active against MSSA + MRSA
Active against all Streptococcal species
Tedizolid Gram + bacillus activity
Has shown to have MIC90 values several-old lower than those of linezolid for a number of species
exception: Nocardia nova complex & Nocardia brasiliensis
Tedizolid Spectrum of activity Anaerobes
broad activity against Gram + anaerobes
