LRSE isolated from patients with bloodstream infections, Greece, 2008–2010. Effect of growth under exposure to linezolid at half-MIC is shown for the 3 low-level LRSE: A) A2570, B) A1702, and C) A2490; and at half-MIC for the 2 linezolid-susceptible control isolates: D) A1521 and E) ATCC 29213. LRSE, linezolid-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis.
