Oxazolidinones are a class of antibiotics used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. They are bacteriostatic, meaning they inhibit the growth of bacteria, rather than killing them. Oxazolidinones are generally used to treat infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. They are also used to treat infections caused by some Gram-negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Oxazolidinones are generally well-tolerated and have few side effects. Oxazolidinones are an important part of the antibiotics market, as they are effective against a wide range of bacterial infections. They are often used as a first-line treatment for infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, and are increasingly being used to treat infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria.
