Bacteroides fragilis resistant to the administration of clindamycin
Abstract
The susceptibility of Bacteroides fragilis to the administration of clindamycin, and the efficacy of this agent in Bacteroides infections are well documented. Clindamycin-resistant strains of B. fragilis were isolated from two patients with bacteremia at two institutions. Clinically significant resistance to clindamycin therapy has not been noted previously in B. fragilis infections.
