1349. Institutional Antibiograms Are Insufficient to Guide Clindamycin Use in Pediatric Skin and Soft Tissue Infections

摘要

Clindamycin (CLN) is a common empiric antimicrobial for pediatric skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) despite decreasing susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) to CLN on institutional antibiograms. This study inquired whether institutional antibiograms are an accurate representation of susceptibility for these infections. It also attempted to find patient and infection characteristics associated with being clindamycin susceptible (CLN-S).
