Abstract excerpt
A number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the mprF open reading frame (ORF) have been associated with daptomycin-resistance (DAP-R) in Staphylococcus aureus. Such SNPs have been found throughout the mprF ORF, although there are clearly preferred "hot spots" within this gene frequently linked to DAP-R phenotype. These mprF SNPs are often correlated with a gain-in-function phenotype, either in terms...
