| Abstract | Background Antibiotic resistance in S. aureus is one of the major concerns and the rate of MRSA has dramatically increased in recent years. Clindamycin belongs to the MLS group and is used to treat skin and soft tissue infections. Resistance to clindamycin may be inducible (iMLSB) or constitutive (cMLSB) and it is present both in MRSA and MSSA. Treatment failure has been reported both in iMLSB and cMLSB cases. Knowledge on clindamycin resistance is important for its proper use. Hence, the present study was done to detect clindamycin resistance among S. aureus causing skin and ear infections. |
