Abstract excerpt
In this study, population analysis (PA) of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), before and after long-duration daptomycin (DAP) treatment, was used to detect subpopulations with different susceptibilities to DAP and to verify the changes in the number of resistant cells. Furthermore, we aimed to characterize the bacteriology of the variants present in the non-susceptible cell subpopulation. A DAP...
