Abstract:Study’s Novelty/Excerpt
This study investigates the prevalence and characteristics of inducible clindamycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from clinical specimens in Katsina Metropolis, Nigeria, highlighting its significant clinical challenge.
Antibiogram profiling revealed high efficacy rates for chloramphenicol (87.8%), clindamycin (79.6%), tetracycline (69.4%), and azithromycin (67.3%), while cefoxitin, ciprofloxacin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole showed the highest resistance levels.
