  1. Abbreviations: MIC minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC 50 MIC required to inhibit growth of 50% of isolates, MIC 90 MIC required to inhibit growth of 90% of isolates.
  2. Italics indicate MIC50.
  3. Bolding indicates MIC90.
  4. aAn MIC value of 0.25 was the lowest MIC value tested for linezolid. Linezolid results should be read as ≤0.25 μg/ml.
  5. bIncludes isolates of S. capitis (28), S. caprae (4), S. cohnii (2), S. epidermidis (405), S. haemolyticus (52), S. hominis (56), S. intermedius (7), S. lugdunensis (47), S. pasteuri (1), S. pettenkoferi (1), S. saprophyticus (28), S. schleiferi (6), S. simulans (14), S. warneri (12), S. xylosus (2), and unspeciated coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp. (9).
