Erythromycin-induced resistance to clindamycin in Staphylococcus aureus. [PDF]
PURPOSE: To describe the incidence of erythromycin-induced resistance to clindamycin in a sample of Staphylococcus aureus isolates. METHODS: 100 erythromycin-resistant and clindamycin-sensitive S.

Background: The resistance to antimicrobial agents among Staphylococci is an increasing problem. This has led to a renewed interest in the usage of macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLSB) antibiotics to treat staphylococcal infections.

Assessment of Clindamycin and Erythromycin Resistance, and Inducible Clindamycin Resistance in Streptococcus Group B Isolated from Urinary Samples of Outpatient Women in Tehran [PDF]
Background: Streptococcus group B (GBS) or Streptococcus agalactiae is typically associated with neonatal disease and infection in pregnant women. Mortality of GBS sepsis in neonates is over 50% and is particularly high in preterm infants.

Detection and prevalence of inducible clindamycin resistance in staphylococci [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are recognized as causing nosocomial and community-acquired infections in every region of the world. The resistance to antimicrobial agents among staphylococci is an increasing problem. Clindamycin (CL) is considered to be one of the alternative agents in these infections.

Failure of Clindamycin Treatment of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Expressing Inducible Clindamycin Resistance In Vitro [PDF]
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 suppresses virulence expression in inducible clindamycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains [PDF]
Clindamycin is a protein synthesis inhibitory agent that has the ability to suppress the expression of virulence factors in Staphylococcus aureus. Recent guidelines recommend the use of clindamycin for the treatment of toxin-mediated infections. Clindamycin modulates virulence expression at sub-inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) in clindamycin ...

Inducible expression of ribosomal clindamycin resistance in Bacteroides vulgatus [PDF]
The abilities of erythromycin and clindamycin to act as inducers of clindamycin resistance in the strain Bacteroides vulgatus RYC18F6 is evaluated in vivo (efficiency of plating of inhibitory clindamycin concentrations) and in vitro [efficiency of poly(U)-directed polypeptide synthesis by ribosomes]. Uninduced cells failed to grow during the first 72 h,

Staphylococci are one of the most common pathogens isolated from nosocomial and community acquired infections. Antibiotics used by oral route such as erythromycin, clindamycin, trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) and quinolones are of value ...
