Abstract

A new type of macrolides, lincosamides and streptogramin B antibiotics (MLS) resistance, showing the characteristic phenotype growing within the inhibition zone area around the clindamycin disk, was identified among clinically isolated Staphylococcus aureus. We named the phenotype as MLS resistance with foggy-D shape (fMLS). The average frequency of MLS isolates was 9%. All of fMLS isolates have only erm(A) for the resistance determinant. The growth pattern of the challenged MLS isolate looks intermediate phase between the patterns of inducible MLS resistance and constitutive MLS resistance.
