Would you still consider adding clindamycin for streptococcal toxic shock syndrome in situations where the isolate is considered to be resistant?

I would not use clindamycin as clindamycin works by decreasing protein production specifically by binding to 50 S ribosomal subunit and disrupting the translation process. If I'm dealing with a toxin mediated pathology such as toxic shock, I prefer using linezolid.
