Detection of inducible clindamycin resistance among Staphylococcal isolates from different clinical specimens in western India

Abstract: Fifty percent of Staphylococcal spp. were ER among which 23.48% were iMLS B phenotypes. Eighty-seven per cent of iMLS B phenotypes were observed to be methicillin-resistant. The high frequency of methicillin resistance isolates (87.12%) with in vitro inducible clindamycin resistance at our institute raises concern of clindamycin treatment failures with methicillin-resistant infections. So we recommend that microbiology laboratories should include the D-test for inducible resistance to clindamycin in the routin… Show more

“…Both inducible and constitutive MLS B phenotypes, as well as MS phenotypes, were reported to occur, but with slightly different frequencies (21). Among the erythromycinresistant staphylococcal isolates of the present study, 30.5% expressed the MLS B phenotype constitutively and 19.1% inducibly.…”

“…Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nde yapıl-mış iki ayrı çalışmada, S.aureus ve KNS suşlarında iMLS B direnç oranı %30 civarında iken, diğer bir çalışmada %20 civarında olmak üzere birbirinden farklı oranlar bildirilmiştir 16,17 . Hindistan'da yapılan bir çalışmada, suşların %24'ünde iMLS B , %47'sinde cMLS B direnci gözlenmiştir 18 . Bizim çalışmamızda, indüklenebilir tipte direnç kromozomal dirençten daha sık saptanmış; iMLS B direnci ise MRSA'da %22, MSSA'da %4, MRKNS'lerde %49 ve MSKNS'lerde %21 olarak bulunmuştur (Tablo I).…”

“…In two other studies, the sensitivity for inducible clindamycin resistance detection was 99% (Griffith et al, 2007;Sharp et al, 2009). In a study (Pal et al, 2010) sensitivity and specificity of vitek-2 system is 93 and 100%, respectively. In the present study, the Vitek 2 card failed to detect inducible clindamycin resistance in 2 strains (negative predictive value of 96.6%.…”

“…The MS and iMLS B phenotypes are indistinguishable by using standard susceptibility test methods, but can be distinguished by erythromycin-clindamycin disk approximation test (Dtest), automated vitek-2 system and demonstration of resistance genes by molecular methods (Steward et al, 2005;Pal et al, 2010).…”
