Methicillin resistance & inducible clindamycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract: Background & objectives:Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates with inducible clindamycin resistance (iCR) are resistant to erythromycin and sensitive to clindamycin on routine testing and inducible clindamycin resistance can only be identified by D-test. This study was aimed to detect methicillin resistance and iCR among S. aureus isolates, effectiveness of some commonly used antibiotics and correlation between methicillin resistance and iCR.Methods:The present cross-sectional study inclu… Show more

“…This is supported by other studies performed in Andhra, South India (23, 28.04%) [34]. On the other hand, there was a higher prevalence of 61% [31], 87.8% [33], and 54.5% [35] of MRSA exhibiting inducible clindamycin resistance in Tanzania and India, respectively.…”

“…It is comparable to studies performed in Southwest Ethiopia [32] and Nairobi, Kenya [29]. However, it is higher than the research report from Amhara, Ethiopia [24] Turkey [9], India [33–35], Nepal [28], Jordan [20], and Pakistan [36]. Furthermore, different studies in Africa too have depicted variations in the prevalence rates of MRSA in different countries [10, 22, 30, 31, 37].…”

“…D-test cases may increase as increase in MRSA cases. The result obtained was contrast with the study carried out by Gosh et al[61]. The increase in reported inducible Clindamycin resistant shows the increase in prevalence of inducible Clindamycin resistance along with constitutive resistant among the clinical isolates of S. aureus.…”
