Correlation of Daptomycin Resistance in a Clinical <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Strain with Increased Cell Wall Teichoic Acid Production and <scp>d</scp> -Alanylation
24 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
Cell wall thickening is a common feature among daptomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains. However, the mechanism(s) leading to this phenotype is unknown. We examined a number of cell wall synthesis pathway parameters in an isogenic strain set of S. aureus bloodstream isolates obtained from a patient with recalcitrant endocarditis who failed daptomycin therapy, including the initial daptomycin-susceptible...
