| Popis: | The erm gene product confers clindamycin resistance on Staphylococcus aureus . We report a clindamycin clinical failure where resistance developed on therapy in a D-test-positive strain. D tests of 91 clindamycin-susceptible, erythromycin-resistant S . aureus isolates showed that 68% of methicillin-susceptible and 12.3% of methicillin-resistant S . aureus strains were D-test positive. |
