The Rate of Inducible MLSB Resistance in the Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococci Isolated From Clinical Samples

摘要

Staphylococci are one of the most common pathogens in nasocomial and community‐acquired infections. Methicillin‐resistant staphylococci are known to be resistant against all beta‐lactam antibiotics. Therefore, non‐beta‐lactam antibiotics such as macrolide and lincosamides can be used. Resistance to those antibiotics may lead to therapeutic failure. The purpose of the present study was to determine the prevalence of macrolide–lincosamide–streptogramin B (MLS ) resistance by using ‐test in staphylococcal isolates from various clinical samples.
