Staphylococcal skin infection isolates from dogs without recent antibiotic exposure are 100% susceptible to clindamycin by W. Cooper Brookshire, Larry D. Ballard, Vernon C. Langston, Joo Youn Park, Keun-Seok Seo

“…Traditional antibiograms are a form of passive surveillance and report antibiotic susceptibility of isolates from a specific laboratory, hospital, or region for a given period of time. However, traditional antibiograms are biased towards more resistance, because infections that have antibiotic susceptibility tests are more likely to be resistant, due to risk factors such as recent antibiotic treatment, hospitalization, or a history of previous antibiotic-resistant infections. …”
