Tedizolid – a new antibiotic to solve old problems: prospects for the treatment of complicated skin and soft tissue infections
Abstract
The work describes a new antibiotic from the oxazolidinone group – tedizolid. The results of the clinical studies have shown a high efficacy of tedizolid in complicated skin and soft tissue infections. The use of tedizolid phosphate was accompanied by high activity against antibiotic-resistant microflora in combination with good tolerability and low frequency of side effects.
