Clindamycin resistance among erythromycin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1996
The increasing proportion of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates with reduced susceptibility to penicillin has created an urgent need for therapeutic alternatives to some beta-lactam agents. Clindamycin is an antimicrobial agent with excellent bioavailability after oral administration which has been considered for the therapy of community-acquired ...

Effects of clindamycin in combination with rifampicin on clindamycin-susceptible and clindamycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1985
The effects of the combination of clindamycin and rifampicin against 21 strains of clindamycin-susceptible and 19 strains of clindamycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus were studied by the time-kill method. For the clindamycin-susceptible strains, clindamycin prevented the re-growth of Staph. aureus in the presence of rifampicin.

Plasmodium berghei: Uptake of clindamycin and its metabolites by mouse erythrocytes with clindamycin-sensitive and clindamycin-resistant parasites

Experimental Parasitology, 1979
Abstract Tritiated Clindamycin was used to compare the uptake of Clindamycin in plasma and red cells of mice infected with clindamycin-sensitive or clindamycin-resistant Plasmodium berghei and in uninfected mice. Red cells infected with either sensitive or resistant parasites have a higher concentration of [3H]clindamycin and its active metabolites 1

Clindamycin-resistant Clostridium perfringens cellulitis

Journal of Tissue Viability, 2008
Clostridium perfringens is responsible for a number of clinical conditions ranging from relatively mild food poisoning to the potentially life-threatening gas gangrene. Fortunately, C. perfringens has remained relatively susceptible to first line antibiotics in the treatment of soft tissue infection, however, the prevalence of antibiotic resistance is ...

Genetic Analysis of Clindamycin Resistance in Bacteroides Species

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1983
The genetic basis of clindamycin and tetracycline resistance in species of Bacteroides was studied in 13 resistant clinical isolates; 10 isolates were resistant to high levels of clindamycin (greater than 160 micrograms/ml) and three were resistant to low levels of clindamycin (5-20 micrograms/ml).

Rapid detection of clindamycin resistance in Bacteroides spp

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1983
High-level resistance to clindamycin can be accurately detected by the Wadsworth disk identification test. Of the 98 isolates of the Bacteroides fragilis group that were tested, 90 were inhibited by the 60-micrograms erythromycin disk and had clindamycin minimal inhibitory concentrations of less than or equal to 3.2 micrograms/ml.

Clindamycin-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes: report of a case

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2004
A sentinel isolate of clindamycin-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes from a case of mixed aerobic-anaerobic necrotizing fasciitis prompted our clinical laboratory to change its protocol and subsequently perform routine susceptibility testing on all S. pyogenes isolated from blood and soft tissue specimens. Emerging clindamycin resistance may have serious

Increased Resistance of Encapsulated Bacteroides fragilis to Clindamycin

Chemotherapy, 2009
The antimicrobial susceptibility and in vitro growth curve of 4 nonencapsulated and 4 encapsulated isolates of Bacteroides fragilis were determined for clindamycin. The MIC of the non-encapsulated isolates was 1-2 dilutions less (0.062-0.25 μg/ml) than the MIC for their encapsulated counterparts (0.25-0.5 μg/ ml).

Homology between clindamycin resistance plasmids in Bacteroides

Plasmid, 1984
Two different species of clindamycin-resistant Bacteroides were isolated from the same infection. One isolate contained a single 15-kb plasmid (pCP1) which encoded transferable clindamycin resistance. pCP1 appears similar to the Bacteroides clindamycin resistance plasmid pBFTM10 isolated independently by F.P. Tally, D.R. Snydman, M.J. Shimell, and M.H.

Clindamycin resistance in anaerobic bacteria.

Scandinavian journal of infectious diseases. Supplementum, 1985
Knowledge of the mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance and resistance transfer in anaerobic bacteria has been gained over the past several years. There is widespread resistance to the beta-lactam antibiotics in the B. fragilis group of organisms and there is emerging penicillin resistance in other Bacteroides species.
