DRUG'S USE LIMITED

Because Zyvox or its derivatives have not been used for treatinginfectious diseases, it may have an advantage over other antibiotics,because bacteria might be slower to develop resistance to it.

Drug-resistant bacteria have become a growing concern in recentyears, in part because of the indiscriminate use of antibiotics.Overexposure to drugs allows bacteria to develop resistant genes.Because bacteria evolve quickly, a few resistant microbes can becomemillions literally overnight.

Because of this, the FDA has recommended that use of the drug belimited_at least at first_to patients in hospitals or otherinstitutions, to avoid overuse, which could lead to resistance.
