Detecting erm-Mediated Inducible Macrolide–Lincosamide–Streptogramin B Resistance in Anaerobic Clinical Isolates
: The D-test accurately identified inducible iMLSB resistance among Gram-positive anaerobic cocci and, if confirmed in larger studies, could form the basis of an accessible and pragmatic screening strategy for this subgroup. Integration of molecular analyses seems essential for the evidence-based refinement of diagnostic algorithms, particularly in the absence of robust, species-specific guidance.
