Updated: 7/12/2025

The D test is a laboratory test used to detect inducible resistance to clindamycin in Staphylococcus aureus, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). When a strain is resistant to erythromycin but susceptible to clindamycin, the D test helps identify whether clindamycin will be effective in treatment. A positive D test shows a characteristic "D" shape around the clindamycin disc when tested alongside an erythromycin disc in a culture, indicating that clindamycin should not be used due to potential treatment failure.
