Inducible clindamycin resistance and nasal carriage rates of Staphylococcus aureus among healthcare workers and community members.
BACKGROUND Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is becoming an increasing problem among healthcare workers and community individuals. OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) nasal colonization and inducible clindamycin resistance (ICR) of S. aureus among healthcare workers at Soba University Hospital and community members in Khartoum State, Sudan. ...
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 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 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 کاملDistribution of erm genes and low prevalence of inducible resistance to clindamycin among staphylococci isolates.
INTRODUCTION Resistance to macrolides, lincosamides and streptogramins B (MLS(B) antibiotics) in staphylococci may be due to modification in ribosomal target methylase encoded by erm genes. The expression of MLS(B) resistance lead to three phenotypes, namely constitutive resistance (cMLS(B)), inducible resistance (iMLS(B)), and resistance only to macrolides and streptogramins B (MS(B)). The iML...
