“…Resistance of CoNS to linezolid increased in the ICU without SDD protocol, where a significant increase of this antibiotic use was also found. CoNS are the main pathogens in health care-associated ventriculitis and meningitis (HCAVM) [ 38 ]. Although linezolid is not registered for the treatment of CoNS infections, it is widely used off-label for the treatment of meningitis, ventriculitis, osteomyelitis and prosthetic-joint infections caused by CoNS promoting emergence of resistance [ 39 , 40 ].…”

“…CoNS consists of a heterogeneous and ever-increasing group of species that colonize the skin and mucosa of their hosts, which could also cause invasive diseases including bloodstream infection, urinary tract infection, and endocarditis 6 . Common CoNS species include Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus capitis, Staphylococcus hominis , etc 7 . The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed human lifestyles worldwide.…”
