Clindamycin suppresses virulence expression in inducible clindamycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains

Abstract Clindamycin is a protein synthesis inhibitory agent that has the ability to suppress the expression of virulence factors in Staphylococcus aureus. Recent guidelines recommend the use of clindamycin for the treatment of toxin-mediated infections. Clindamycin modulates virulence expression at...
