title: Central venous catheter colonization by linezolid-resistant, vancomycin-susceptible Enterococcus faecalis.
abstract: Resistance to linezolid is rare in clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecalis. A strain resistant to this antimicrobial but susceptible to vancomycin was found to cause central venous catheter colonization in a patient who never received linezolid.
