FIG. 1.
Secondary structure of the central loop of domain V of M. tuberculosis 23S rRNA (modification of the structures presented in references and 7). The base exchanges determined in the in vitro-selected linezolid-resistant M. tuberculosis strains are indicated (dark gray circles). Nucleotides that are putatively associated with linezolid resistance in Halobacterium halobium, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, and M. smegmatis are also included (circles).
