OXAZOLIDINONES

Oxazolidinones are a class of antibiotics that are effective against certain bacterial infections. They work by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria, preventing their growth and replication. These antibiotics are commonly used to treat infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Oxazolidinones have a broad spectrum of activity and are generally well-tolerated by patients.
