To demonstrate inducible clindamycin resistance among the staphylococcal isolates from various clinical samples by D- test. A total of 125 Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus (CONS) isolates were collected from clinical samples. All the samples were tested for inducible clindamycin resistance by using the D -test as per CLSI guidelines. In this study, 11% inducible clindamycin resistant staphylococcal isolates (iMLSb), and 9% of Constitutive resistance (cMLSb) and 46% MS phenotype were detected and 34% were susceptible to both erythromycin and clindamycin (S phenotype) among the total isolates. The inducible clindamycin resistance in this study was 11%. The D-test is a very convenient test to perform. It can be done along with our routine antibiotic susceptibility testing in all the staphylococcal isolates. Accurate clindamycin resistance reporting is mandatory for a successful treatment outcome.
