The oxazolidinones (/ˈɒksəzɵˌlɪdɨnoʊn/[1]) are a class of synthetic antibiotics used in the treatment of severe bacterial infections.

- Notably, the concentration of linezolid in the epithelial lining fluid of the lower respiratory tract is at least equal to, and often higher than, that achieved in serum (some authors have reported bronchial fluid concentrations up to four times higher than serum concentrations). This may account for its efficacy in treating pneumonia, but the actual clinical significance (if any) is still unknown.[2]
