Methicillin resistance & inducible clindamycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates with inducible clindamycin resistance (iCR) are resistant to erythromycin and sensitive to clindamycin on routine testing and inducible clindamycin resistance can only be identified by D-test. This study was aimed to detect methicillin resistance and iCR among S. aureus isolates, effectiveness of some commonly u...
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...
متن کاملFailure of clindamycin treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus expressing inducible clindamycin resistance in vitro.
We report a case of a surgical site infection caused by clindamycin-susceptible, erythromycin-resistant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that did not respond to treatment with clindamycin. The MRSA isolate obtained after treatment was resistant to clindamycin but was found to be identical by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to the clindamycin-susceptible isolate obtained befor...
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 in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus.
Background: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important agents causing nosocomial infections. Inducible clindamycin resistance is an important concern, because common laboratory tests could not detect it. Objectives: The aim of this study was to detect the inducible clindamycin resistance by D-test method. Materials and Methods: A total of 209 clinical S. aureus isolates were collected a...
