The spread of multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a public health concern. The inducible macrolide–lincosamide–streptogrammin B (iMLSB ) phenotype (or inducible clindamycin resistance) is associated with false clindamycin susceptibility in routine laboratory testing and may lead to treatment failure.
