Prevalence of Constitutive and Inducible Clindamycin Resistance among Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates in a Tertiary Care Hospital, Kashmir Valley

Abstract: Introduction:The increased frequency of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections has led to renewed interest in the macrolide-lincosamide streptogramin B (MLS) group of antibiotics. Resistance to these antibiotics may be constitutive or inducible. Isolates resistant to erythromycin may show false in vitro susceptibility to clindamycin, leading to therapeutic failures. This study investigated the utility of the D-Test for detecting inducible clindamycin resistance in methicillin-resistant S. aureu… Show more

“…Infection control strategies, including patient isolation and decolonization therapy, along with protective measures for visitors and healthcare personnel, are vital to halt further MRSA spread. Stringent adherence to hand hygiene practices, routine cleaning, and proper disinfection of hospital supplies, rooms, surfaces, and equipment are crucial components in reducing the risk of healthcare-associated MRSA infections [16][17][18][19]…”
