Comparison between bacterial cell wall thickness in LS, LR and LI isolates. There are S. capitis (A), S. aureus (B), E. faecalis (C) and E. faecium (D) isolates. 102, HS12-102; 17, HS09-17; 17 + LZD, HS09-17 grown with 4 μg/ml linezolid; 55, HS12-55; 55 + LZD, HS12-55 grown with 32 μg/ml linezolid; ATCC29213, ATCC29213 LS S. aureus; 202, HS11-202; 202 + LZD, HS11-202 grown with 2 μg/ml linezolid; ATCC29212, ATCC29212 LS E. faecalis; 304, HS11-304; 309, HS12-309; 309 + LZD, HS12-309 grown with 2 μg/ml linezolid; 194, HS13-194; 306, HS11-306 (MIC 4 μg/ml). LS reference strains HS12-102 (S. capitis), ATCC29213 (S. aureus), ATCC29212 (E. faecalis) and HS13-194 (E. faecium) were used as controls for the respective groups. 17 versus 102, 55 versus 102, 17 + LZD versus 17, 55 + LZD versus 55, 202 versus ATCC29213, 202 + LZD versus 202, 304 versus ATCC29212, 309 versus ATCC29212, 309 + LZD versus HS12-309 showed significantly differences (**P ≤ 0.001; ***P < 0.0001, two-tailed t-test).
