METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTION OF ERYTHROMYCIN-INDUCED CLINDAMYCIN RESISTANCE

摘要

A device and method are provided for determination of erythromycin-induced clindamycin resistance. The device is preferably a test panel containing one or more wells each having a known concentration(s) of erythromycin and known concentration(s) of clindamycin. After inoculation of the wells with a sample and incubation, the wells are analyzed for growth and to determine whether sample contains a microorganism that expresses erythromycin-induced clindamycin resistance.
