INTRODUCTION: Resistance to macrolides, lincosamides and type B streptogramins (MLSB) in Staphylococcus isolates can be due to several mechanisms. The most important are an active efflux mechanism (MSB phenotype) and ribosomal target modification (MLSB phenotype); this latter mechanism confers resistance to all three groups of antimicrobials (MLSB resistance). Expression of MLSB resistance can be constitutive...
