Resistant phenotypes in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
| Resistant phenotype | Induction test phenotype | ERY susceptibility | CLI susceptibility | No. of isolates | % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| iMLSB | D test positive | R | S | 150 | 27.8 |
| MS | D test Negative | R | S | 70 | 12.9 |
| cMLSB | R | R | R | 210 | 38.9 |
| No resistance | S | S | S | 110 | 20.4 |
CLI = clindamycin; cMLSB = constitutive macrolide–lincosamide–streptomycin group B; D test = disk approximation test; ERY = erythromycin; iMLSB = inducible macrolide–lincosamide–streptomycin group B; MS = methicillin sensitive; R = resistant; S = sensitive.
