Inducible Clindamycin Resistance among Staphylococci Isolated from Burn Patients
Clindamycin has been used successfully to treat pneumonia and soft-tissue infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. However, inducible clindamycin resistance has been described as a cause of treatment failure of such infections. A total of 159 staphylococcal isolates from different clinical specimens from burn patients in Tripoli Burn Center were tested for inducible cli...
متن کاملInducible clindamycin resistance in staphylococci isolated from clinical samples.
This study aimed to determine the levels of the macrolides-lincosamides-streptogramins B (MLS(B)) resistance phenotype of Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) isolates from clinical samples. A total of 521 strains of staphylococci, comprising 230 S. aureus and 291 CNS isolates from various clinical samples, were identified by conventional methods. The double-disc tes...
متن کاملInducible clindamycin resistance among clinical isolates of Staphylococci.
INTRODUCTION Clinical failure of clindamycin therapy has been reported due to multiple mechanisms that confer resistance to macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin antibiotics. This study was undertaken to detect the presence of inducible clindamycin resistance among clinical isolates of staphylococci. MATERIALS AND METHODS The detection of inducible clindamycin resistance was performed by D...
متن کاملInducible Clindamycin Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Clinical Samples
Increasing frequency of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections and changing patterns in antimicrobial resistance have led to renewed interest in the use of macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin (MLS) antibiotics to treat such infections. Inducible macrolides, lincosamides, type B streptogramins (MLS(Bi)) resistance has to be identified to avoid clinical failure of clindamyc...
متن کاملInducible clindamycin resistance among Staphylococcus aureus isolates
Introduction: Clindamycin is considered an useful alternate drug in penicillin-allergic patients in the treatment of skin & soft tissue infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus spp. can be resistant to erythromycin through either erm or msr A genes. Strains with erm-mediated erythromycin resistance may possess inducible clindamycin resistance but may appear susceptible to clin...
