In-Host Evolution of Daptomycin Resistance and Heteroresistance in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains From Three Endocarditis Patients
1 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Daptomycin is considered an important alternative for the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However, treatment failures associated with daptomycin nonsusceptibility isolates have been reported in recent years.
