Influence of subinhibitory concentrations of clindamycin on opsonophagocytosis of Staphylococcus aureus, a protein-A-dependent process

E M Veringa et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1986 Nov.

Abstract

Incubation in subinhibitory concentrations of clindamycin enhanced the uptake of protein A-rich Staphylococcus aureus strains by polymorphonuclear leukocytes. This enhancement of uptake appeared to be due, in part, to a reduction in the amount of protein A at the bacterial cell surface by clindamycin.
