Emergence of transferable daptomycin resistance in Gram-positive bacteria
26 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
Daptomycin (DAP) is a last-resort antibiotic to treat infections by multiresistant Gram-positive pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
