Eligibility criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

Treatment of bone and joint infection in which therapy for Gram positive organisms is documented or suspected, as determined by the treating physician and treatment of at least 4 weeks is planned. Bone and joint infection and trauma-associated bone and joint infection will defined clinically using radiologic (e.g., MRI) and/or surgical (e.g., intra-operative findings) definitions. All subjects must have confirmation (diagnosis mentioned in chart) by the patient's primary physician and consultants that the patients has or likely has bone and joint infection and requires prolonged antibiotic therapy.
Aged between 18 years and 85 years.
Plans to treat bone and joint infection in outpatient setting.
No limited planned course of antibiotics (i.e., no indefinite treatment plans for chronic suppression). Co-administration of other antibiotics that target other causative or potentially causative organisms (e.g., fluoroquinolones) is acceptable.
Able to come to the research clinic for study follow-up visits for the study period.

Exclusion Criteria:

Planned prolonged hospitalization (> 1 week).
Pregnancy (all female subjects of childbearing age will be given a pregnancy test prior to enrollment) or breast feeding. If a women is of childbearing potential, she must consistently use an acceptable method of contraception (IUD, injectable contraceptive, birth control patch, OCP, barrier method, abstinence) from baseline through the course of antibiotics (4-12 weeks). If a male patient's sexual partner is of childbearing potential, the male patient must acknowledge that they will consistently use an acceptable method of contraception as defined above from baseline through the course of antibiotics (4-12 weeks).
Comorbidities that, in the opinion of the investigator, are uncontrolled (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, psychiatric disease).
Peripheral or optic neuropathy.

Underlying hematologic cytopenias (e.g., baseline thrombocytopenia, or severe anemia, or leukopenia) as determined by the following limits from a baseline CBC/CMP obtained within the past 14 days. Note that if a CBC has not been performed within the past 14 days, a CBC will be performed on the day of enrollment prior to any study drug being administered to ensure the patient does not meet exclusion criteria. Cytopenias are defined as:

Hemoglobin (Hgb) < 8.0g/dL
WBC < 4,000 k/cumm
Platelets < 150,000 k/cumm
Severe hepatic dysfunction as defined by liver function tests (ALT, ALP, AST, total bilirubin) > 3.0 times the upper limit of normal. as determined by the following limits from a baseline CMP obtained within the past 7 days. If a CMP has not been performed within the past 7 days, baseline levels may be used from a CMP performed within the past 2 months as long as another CMP is performed on the day of enrollment and the subject's levels are within the following limits.
Hypersensitivity to tedizolid or other oxazolidinone-class antibiotics or similar compounds.
Ongoing antibiotic-associated colitis.
A diet high in tyramine-containing foods such as pickled or fermented meats and cheeses, wine, or avocados per investigator discretion.
Concurrent use of sodium picosulfate (brand names: Sodipic Picofast, Laxoberal, Laxoberon, Purg-Odan, Picolax, Guttalax, Namilax, Pico-Salax and Prepopik).
Previous participation in the study.
Use of tedizolid for any condition in the past 3 months.
Any other medical, psychological, or social condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would prevent the patient from fully participating in the study or would represent a concern for study compliance or constitute a safety concern to the patient.
