Susceptibility patterns of isolated S. aureus against erythromycin and clindamycin from wound-infected patients at Arba Minch Hospital, Arba Minch, South Ethiopia, April to June 2017.
| Phenotype | Es and Cs no resistance, n (%) | Er and Cs (D zone negative) MSB, n (%) | Er and Cs (D zone positive) iMLSB, n (%) | Er and Cr cMLSB, n (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S. aureus (n = 79) | 57 (60.85) | 1 | 19 (24.1) | 2 |
| MRSA (n = 65) | 46 (70.8) | 1 | 16 (24.6) | 2 |
| MSSA (n = 14) | 11 (78.6) | 0 | 3 | 0 |
Key. Es: erythromycin sensitive, Cs: clindamycin sensitive, Er: erythromycin resistant, Cr: clindamycin-resistant, MS: macrolide streptogramin B, iMLSB: inducible macrolide lincosamidestreptogramin B phenotype, cMLSB: constitutive macrolide lincosamidestreptogramin B phenotype.
