Abstract	We identified Staphylococcus aureus strains having blunt inhibitory zones around the clindamycin or josamycin discs proximal to the erythromycin disc filled with slight bacterial growth. This ambiguous phenotype was termed as 'macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B antimicrobial (MLS(B)) resistance having a foggy D-shaped inhibitory zone' (fMLS(B)), and we tried to analyse its molecular mechanisms.
