Lack of evidence for mutation to erythromycin resistance in clinical strains of Staphylococcus aureus.
نویسنده
چکیده
The properties of 100 erythromycin resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus obtained from clinical material have been compared with the properties of mutants selected in vitro for resistance to erythromycin. The properties, including inducibility of the resistance and cross-resistance to spiramycin and lincomycin, of the two groups of isolates were always different. The risk that staphylococci will mutate to erythromycin resistance during therapy with this antibiotic is remote.

Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive coccus that, in specific conditions, is able to generate various diseases. By secreting different enterotoxins, this bacterium prepares the settings to attack the host; among these, enterotoxins A and B play the most important roles in food poisoning. This study was performed to trace the genes coding enterotoxins A and B in Staphylococcus a...

Background and Objective: The D-test is performed by placing clindamycin and erythromycin impregnated disks at a standard distance on the agar plate then looking for the flattening of inhibition zone around the clindamycin disk. A positive D-test indicates clindamycin inducible resistance and also predicts treatment failure possibility of this antibiotic in clinic. Prevalence of staphyl...
