Abstract

The authors studied the effect that a subinhibitory concentration of Clindamycin has on adherence of coagulase negative S. epidermidis to surgical nets. Clindamycin, as expected, interferes with the adhesivity to the nets of coagulase-negative S. epidermidis slime producing when sub-MICs are used. The documentation obtained by scanning electron microscope, after treatment of the strains with doses of Clindamycin equal to 1/6 of the MIC after 3 and 6 hours, confirms the anti-adherent effect of the antibiotic.
