Infection caused by bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics is spreading over the world with increasing infection rate and mortality rate, which has posed a serious threat to human health. In 2004, National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance reported that people infected by Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) take up 63.3% of all patients with nosocomial infection of staphylococcus aureus. Among staphylococcus aureus infections, MRSA separation rate occupied 69.2%. The mortality rate of MRSA infection is 20 times of Methicillin Sensitive Staphylococcus Aureus (MSSA).
Linezolid, a synthetic oxazolidinone, was developed by Pharmacia & Upjohn. In 2000, it was approved by FDA to be used for infection caused by gram- positive coccus, including suspected or confirmed Hospital Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) caused by MRSA, Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP), skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) and vancomycin- resistant enterococcus infection. Linezolid brought in sales revenue of USD 150 million in the same year it entered market and its sales in the global market during the period of 2013- 2014 reached up to USD 1350 million. In China, linezolid market has long been monopolized by foreign pharmaceutical corporations. Since the patent for linezolid’s crystal form shall expire in 2021, its price stays high.
