Abstract

We read with great interest the study by Schilcher et al. ([1][1]) on the effect of subinhibitory concentrations of clindamycin on the biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus. The authors highlighted a shift toward S. aureus to form biofilms at subinhibitory clindamycin concentrations, with
