Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), inducible clindamycin resistance.
Clindamycin is an attractive agent for empirical therapy for various infections because of its excellent pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. Clinical failures of clindamycin therapy for treatment of MRSA infections have been documented for strains that were clindamycin sensitive but erythromycin resistant. The failures were due to inducible resistance to clindamycin. A sum of 20 normal flora isolates of Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) were subjected to antibioic sensitivity pattern followed by inducible clindamycin resistance test. 20% were found to be D test positive strains. The D-test is a simple & reliable method to detect inducible & constitutive clindamycin resistance in routine clinical diagnosis setting.
