I worked for Pfizer, for 2 years in clinical trials to get Linezolid on the market. This was for treating MRSA infections. I was in close contact with nurses & doctors who seemed to think it worked well. Back then (around 10 yrs ago), there was almost no MRSA resistance, unheard of from what I remember. Then I left and lost track of it all. Wikipedia now says it's 100USD / pill. If there's really a lot of resistance to Linezolid, that would be quite shocking. In my project there was a lot more MRSA in "poorer" parts of the country, in hospitals with lower hygiene standards. Hospitals also refused to report their MRSA stats ("it doesn't exist here", not wanting to be known as a place where it's found since it is related to hygiene). Interesting stuff.
