Abstract excerpt
In staphylococci, inducible macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLS(B)) resistance is conferred by the erm(C) or erm(A) gene. This phenotype is characterized by the erythromycin-clindamycin "D-zone" test. Although clindamycin appears active in vitro, exposure of MLS(B)-inducible Staphylococcus...
