Genomic Profiling of Evolving Daptomycin Resistance in a Patient with Recurrent Staphylococcus argenteus Sepsis
29 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus argenteus is a novel staphylococcal species associated with invasive disease. We report the first case of daptomycin/vancomycin-resistant S. argenteus , initially speciated as Staphylococcus aureus , that developed from repeated treatment with daptomycin for a complex vascular graft infection. Whole-genome sequencing of longitudinally collected isolates identified acquisition of MprF S337L, a...
