The amount of community-strain staph that possessed inducible clindamycin resistance was still low, however, and there were still plenty of other drug options for outpatient treatment: the tetracyclines; the fluoroquinolones; the sulfa drugs; and linezolid or Zyvox, a brand-new and therefore much more expensive drug that could also be taken orally.
