Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In small series or individual reports, SNPs within the mprF ORF and dysregulation of its expression in Staphylococcus aureus have been linked to daptomycin resistance (DAP-R) via a proposed gain-in-function mechanism. Similarly, dysregulation of dltABCD has also been associated with DAP-R. METHODS: Using 22 well-characterized, isogenic daptomycin-susceptible (DAP-S)/DAP-R clinical MRSA strain pairs,...
