Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci are important nosocomial pathogens. Studies on daptomycin (DAP) resistance in coagulase-negative staphylococci focus on Staphylococcus epidermidis, but few on Staphylococcus capitis despite its clinical and epidemiological importance. This study investigates the DAP susceptibility and underlying resistance mechanisms of methicillin-resistant S....
