Two genes involved in clindamycin resistance of Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus paralicheniformis identified by comparative genomic analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 We evaluated the minimum inhibitory concentrations of clindamycin and erythromycin toward 98 Bacillus licheniformis strains isolated from several types of fermented soybean foods manufactured in several districts of Korea.

Clindamycin: An adjunct option in drug-resistant staphylococcal infections
CHRISMED Journal of Health and Research, 2022 Introduction: The emergence of methicillin resistance among staphylococcal infections has led to increasing demand for the use of safe and effective agents to treat such infections. Clindamycin is one such drug which is gaining the interest of clinicians

Mutations in apicoplast rRNA genes are associated with clindamycin resistance and impair the ability of malaria parasites to infect mosquitoes [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and ChemotherapyDrug resistance hampers malaria treatment and control. Resistance to nearly all clinically used antimalarials has emerged and spread globally. With multi-drug-resistant parasites now on the rise, understanding resistance mechanisms and their ability to ...

Clindamycin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 To the Editor: Antimicrobial medications classified as macrolides (e.g., erythromycin) and lincosamides (e.g., clindamycin) show strong activity against streptococci and are commonly used to treat community-acquired infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Clindamycin susceptibility and virulence characterization of Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from meat and meat-processing environments [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyListeria monocytogenes is a major foodborne pathogen widely distributed in food-processing environments and is considered intrinsically resistant to clindamycin. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between clindamycin susceptibility

Inducible Clindamycin Resistance among Clinical Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from Sub Himalayan Region of India [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2015 Introduction: Clindamycin is an alternative antibiotic in the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) infections, both in infections by methicillin susceptible and resistant (MSSA and MRSA) strains.

Bacteroides fragilis resistance to clindamycin in vitro [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1982 Clindamycin resistance in Bacteroides fragilis was examined in 507 strains isolated from 1973 to 1981. Three groups were recognized: highly susceptible (minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] less than or equal to 0.125 microgram/ml), intermediately susceptible (MIC = 0.25 to 4 micrograms/ml), and highly resistant to (MIC greater than or equal to 8 ...
